Mike,  Copied the installer from the OS3.9 disk and the update is not running!
So, thanks so much, everyone...

"Not" running?  Or "Now" running?  Haha.

Version is 1.24. I installed it off of a CD over the top of 3.5 and yes it completed successfully
with Internet tools.  However when I run -2 it opens, but not 3&4.

No, that's not an Installer version.  It should be something like 44.x.

I think version 1.24 is actually an ancient version from the very early 90s. Was distributed on the install disks of programs of that era, as I recall. Causes all sorts of issues with recent OS versions and larger hard disks.

Also take a look to see if Installer is in SYS:Utilities. That's another common place for it to end up. Even if you've updated the version in C:, if there's still the old version in SYS:Utilities, then something that calls "Installer" (rather than the explicit "C:Installer") could still end up using the copy in SYS:Utilities.

Put in Shell: so you can find where in the search path your system does have some version(s) of installer.

PS - download them from here:

Looks like only the old V1.0g is there. The current version is V1.0k. You can get it from:

http://amigan.1emu.net/releases/

Did you use unarc to unarchive the boing bag? if so there's your problem. Unarchive it with lha instead or whatever it has been packed with.

Dang!  I try my best to always have the latest libraries on my system.  Looks like I missed this site!  From the changelog in the readme, doesn't seem like much has changed between 1.0g and 1.0k.  It's mostly stuff that anyone who watches Aminet regularly would have caught, anyway (layers.library 45.27, new Peter K. icon.library, etc.), but still.  Now I just feel bad, haha.  In my dreams, someday there will be a single site where all Amiga updates can be downloaded from, so I'm not having to bookmark a dozen different sites.  Yeah, in my dreams, right?  

This is another one of my favorites:

Have fun with that, not going to tell you how much time I've spent scanning that site and comparing it to what I have installed!  :laughing:
