Amiga Developer CD v2.1

[CodeSmith]

I got mine this morning (from compuquick), so I could hit the ground running when my AmigaOne arrives  :-)

I've got a problem though - I never got around to buying a CD-ROM for my A1200 (and since I've ordered an AmigaOne I doubt that's ever going to happen), so I tried to install it under my copy of UAE (it's running OS 3.1).  When I try to run the HD installer, I get this error message (in German, I think):

"Kann workbench-Informationen nicht einholen"

Does anyone know how to fix this? is there some .library I need to get from aminet?

Edit: there was an English HD install icon I hadn't seen, when I run it I get the following error:  "Can't get Workbench Information"

I'm guessing large chunks of it are not redistributable, else it would be on someone's web site...  In any case, this is from the main .guide file:

The CD is pretty cheap - only $28 from Compuquick.  If you're doing your windows port commercially, you can get that from petty cash.  In any case, there's such a huge amount of information there, so the CD is pretty good value.  Parts of it are obsolete (like the early AmigaMail archives), but there are many important things that have not changed that much, eg dos.library, the devices and most of exec.  I'm curious to see what resource.library and graphics.library will look like on OS4, since those two are pretty hardware dependent (no more copper-lists  :-( )
