"Executable - File not executable" ... Suggestions?

[Hodgkinson]

Hi there,
I've just been and installed StarFighter:D'Yammen's Reign on my A1200D WB3.0 KS3.0 system. Without the patches, the game works fine. But with the patches applied (More specifically the new "Executable" file in the "Starfighter" drawer) once rebooted the system stops abruptly and says that the "Executable" file isn't executable :crazy:

The game works fine with the patches providing that the old executable file is left alone.

I've tried resetting all the protection bits on the new patched executable file to no avail.

Anyone any ideas?

EDIT: The executable files in both the LHA group of files at the top of the game download page (http://www.drewfx.com/Star/star.htm) and the LHA patches in the "LoadWB" file section at the bottom of the page seem to have the same problem.
Trying to run the executable just on its own without the game loaded also has the same problem.

Thanks,
Hodgkinson.

Thanks for the replies.

OK - A question for anyone who's got the patches running on the game - :lotsacoffee: - What extractor did you use, and which patch files did you download?

I used the latest version of LHA on aminet, and as I say both the executable in the "lha" bunch of patches at the top of the download page (The redux repacked LHA file) and the lha patches in the "LoadWB" section at the bottom of the download page both seem to have the same problem.

EDIT: Is there a manual online for this game?

Thanks,
Hodgkinson.

I'd be v. careful with these because on my Amiga instead of using RAD: it used DH0: and overwrote my startup-sequence and various files in C:

ouch ouch ouch...
N.B. I’m actually having to force my A1200 to reboot with RAD: at the moment as the RAD boot priority is lower than that of the system drive :roll:

Re LHA, im using v2.12 of LHA at the moment. I had to update from an older version to even be able to extract the archive files (I used v2.12 to extract both the game and all the patches).

@MadMonkey: What did you use to extract your patches?

Thanks,
Hodgkinson.

StarFighter_Patch1.lha... The one from the bottom "LoadWB" section of the download page?

What is you're system spec (Revisions...)?

(Btw, PM sent)

Thanks,
