WHDLoad Installation Problem

[sim085]

I was also thinking the following ...

I did not have any Installer tool before putting the downloaded one under Sys:C (I mentioned this in some post about).

So how come the Installer tool refered to by the WHDLoad install script has worked fine under the 68020 processor? shouldn't have it also failed because there was no Installer tool under Sys:C?

Not that my Workbench 3.1 is a fresh installation and did not havbe the installer tool under Sys:C. Is this normal? If yes, then where is the default installer tool of Workbench 3.1 located?

Just copy WHDload to your C folder manually.

Ok, I managed to make the installer work. There was another 'Installer' tool in the directory of WHDLoad and it seems the latter used this one rather then the one in System:C! I removed the installer tool inside the WHDLoad and its installer started using the one in System:C.

SYS:Utilities is another common place for Installer.

Thanks, it seems that workbench finds the installer tool regardlessly if it is in System:C or System:Utilities! How does Workbench work in this regard? What does workbench do to find a tool such as installer?

Workbench attempts to search at locations defined through PATH command. PATH is invoked inside S:startup-sequence file.

Thank you very much I understand now. This is very interesting stuff ... I am looking forward to learn more on Workbench

That was the original design of the program. Was never meant to be a vehicle for piracy. OR am I being naive and was that feature just a clever disguise?

Pirates is available for download while SimCity is not! I always thought it was because for legal issues ... the title SimCity is still owned by Firaxis as much as I know!

.. or that is the reason ... or else I am naive as well?
