WHDLoad blight
« on: December 16, 2007, 02:06:04 PM »
After recieving my EasyADF package yesterday (huzzah!) I hooked up my A1200 again and tried installing WHDLoad 16.8.

Not very successful though...

After copying the whdload_usr.lha to my CF card and CLI-ing a

lha e whload_usr.lha work:

I open the work:whload folder, click on the installer and get an error the installer cannot be opened.

Any hints on how to get whdload working?

It is not asking for c:installer, it just says it can't open the installer when I click the icon.

EDIT:
Where do I find the readme in the whdload_usr.lha? I can only find the HTML documentation - which is also available on the whdload website and not very helpful when it comes to sovling my blight.

Okay when clicking on the WHDLoad Install icon I get the following errormessage:

Onmogelijk 'Installer' tool te openen (impossible to open 'installer' tool)

And when trying to execute the WHDLoad Install from the CLI:

install: bestand niet uitvoerbaar (install: file not executable / cannot execute file)

I checked my System/C and there seems to be a 'install' program there.

I already tried to copy the files in WHDLoad/C and WHDLoad/S manually to the System/C and System/S folders using the CLI, but after a while my system hangs/crashes/resets.

How do i tell which version of installer I have? And where can I get ver43.3?

EDIT:
Of course: http://aminet.net/util/misc/Installer.lha
Now do I just copy the 'Installer' file (131.524 bytes) in system:c/ ?
/EDIT

Oh Silly Me(tm):

I tried manually copying the WHDLoad files using a *, where I had to copy them one at a time <- that did the trick.

WHDLoad seems to be working fine, now where did I hide my kickstart dumps?

OH YAY! \o/

:-D

Thanks for the hints and suggestions, I'm a bit new to the whole Amiga with harddisk thing ;)

After a quick search I only found OS4 versions of Directory Opus 4 and Diskmaster 2. My A1200 uses 3.1 (on kickstart 3.0) so I doubt those will work...

EDIT:
Ah, Ami Sector One has DOPUS4 - YAY!
