Directory Opus Issue

[sturulez]

Ive recently installed Directory Opus 4 onto my flash drive via winUAE and it work with no problems

I then transfer the flash drive back into my amiga A1200 but when i double click on the icon, the following message appears.

Software Failure

DirectoryOpus
Program Failed (error #8000000B)
Wait for disk activity to finish

Is there something missing from my amiga 1200 that i need to get this running?

Thanks

SetPatch 43.6b might be the answer.

Thanks I will give that a try,

Also is there alternative programs I could use that would more or less do the same thing?

Okay I installed the setpatch and the same message appears when trying to open Dopus. I've even removed DOpus and installed it again, but the same message appears when i try to open it.

When you say (quote) "I then transfer the flash drive back into my Amiga" - what USB interface are you using?  Does it work correctly when transferring other files?  Have you tried copying the DOpus executable off the flash drive (for example, into RAM: ) and running it from there?

I'm not using a USB interface, the laptop I'm running WinUAE on has a PCMCIA interface built into it

Yes all other files I have transferred over work fine on my A1200. DOpus works on WinUAE when installed on the flash card, but not on the amiga. I will try and run it from the RAM: and see how I get on.

Thanks

I'm running version 4.16.

I've done all of the above but it still doesnt work. Extracted the lha file in Ram: ran the installation, installed it to my HDD partition

The message still appears.

Okay I've managed to resolve the issue.

I extracted the setpatch43.6b  to Ram: then manually copied the setpatch file over into the C: folder and replaced the existing one. Rebooted the machine

Hey presto it now works!!!  :-)
