I've been trying this for hours. I got the Installer v43.3 from Aminet. I keep following different instructions in different places and they're all dead wrong. I've keep copying the contents of this decompressed installer disk to SYS:C then I tried SYS:S then SYS: then SYS:SYSTEM and nothing works. It's always cannot open your tool installer. Why? Why is this so hard? Why do I need a separate program not included in Workbench to install IDE Fix 97?
An installer that can't install itself! :laughing:
What a rip off! :roflmao:
Seriously I know about this and it has annoyed me too. What do you use when you install AmigaOS? A damned installer. What do Commodore neglect to install with the OS? An installer! :crazy:
IMHO this was a bug! Commodore had these guide lines and couldn't even supply an installer for users. It affected users, not delvelopers who didn't include the Installer because they shouldn't need too!
I was helping a PC friend salesman install a CanonDisk driver on an A1200 for a guy who bought a printer off my friend. What happens first? There's no installer! And the comment that it wouldn't have happened on a PC becasue in 1996 Windows was so good and Windows had an installer build into Windows that all the programmers used!! What a wondeful world for the PC! :lol:
Yeah right! PC programs had an installer within the package, my PC friend never noticed that! Okay rant off. I hope your installer works by now, you're not alone. :-)
BTW, OS 3.1 not the best for ROM 3.0. Mostly it's okay, but there are some missing functions. One for gfx.
