Is there a guide on how to do this anywhere because the only message I keep getting everytime I try to do anything is 'unable to open installer.'
I downloaded installer 43.3 as suggested elsewhere on the internet, but to no avail. Some games don't require installing. But for those ones I get a window saying please donate and then an error message saying 'can't allocate shadowmem.'
I don't wish to state the obvious here, but after downloading 'Installer' from aminet -
http://aminet.net/util/misc/Installer-43_3.lha - ...you can extract the archive by double clicking on that file "Installer-43_3.lha" and then when the text box appears you simply insert the text "Lha x " before the text that first appeared... so basically the command you are entering will look like this:
"Lha x installer-43_3.lha" (then hit return)
The above command will extract the .lha archive of "Installer" to the current working directory (which I am assuming is your Compact Flash CF device "CF0:"
If you are sure that the "Installer-43_3.lha" file is actually on your CF card and you simply can't see it, then to see it you simply need to select the 'Window' menu and select 'Show' --> 'All Files'. This shows all files.... which means all files that do not have an icon. You will then be able to see the file in question and perform the above procedure.
After that procedure has completed, if you select the menu 'Window' then 'Update' you will see the new files....one will be called 'installer'. You need to copy this file, or move it to your 'C' drawer on your boot partition. You can do this by double clicking on the file 'installer' and editing the command in the text box like before, but change it to this:
"copy installer to c:" (then hit return)
This copies installer to the correct place on your hard drive.
All the above is assuming that Lha is installed on your system, which basically means that you have a program called "Lha" residing in your C: drawer where all the commands are stored.
You can dowload Lha from
http://www.aminet.net - just do a search for "Lha.run", this is the file you will need to install lha on your computer....just make sure you have a copy of lha in your C: drawer.
All the above will hopefully sort out your problem with your computer not being able to find 'Installer'.
