I've just managed to install it OK. Took a while to find a server that still had it available for D/L, but it installed OK.
Try the SASC site.

If I remember correctly, the installation script attempts to install an unnamed file (just a space as file name, a rather stupid idea), and that fails with the Windows file system.

I keep an complete MUI archive with the most current versions available of most
custom classes/plugins.
The archive is meant for tidying and upgrading exsisting installations, but
could easily be used for new installs as well.

I'm too hopeless to write an Installer script at the moment, so all instructions
are in a text file.

Download it from:
ftp://mp3:mp3@amiga.serveftp.net/Uploads_here/FullMUIsetup.lha


Be sure to read the .readme file for instructions.

These problems are usually due to bad file names, so the installer fails to find the files it needs.

I've come across two different scenarios:

1) Windows file systems don't support the file name of one of the files in the MUI archive. This is an irrelevant file, but the installer fails nevertheless. The solution is to modify the installer script or install from a partition with an Amiga file system.

(Since you're using OS 3.9 on an HDF I suspect this is not your problem)

2) The Unarchiver tool in OS 3.9 has bugs, and will sometimes replace the space character " ", with an underline "_", so that files called "Read Me First" end up being called "Read_Me_First". This confuses the hell out of the Installer.

Solution: you have two options. Either go through the unpacked archive and replace "_" with " ", or install lha to your C: directory and use that to do the unpacking of the MUI archive. I recommend the latter.

Option 3, Boing Bag one (or two, can't recall) has a fixed version of UnArc that no longer changes the file names with spaces.

I had the same problem installing MUI on my WinUAE setup, due to the installer script failing.

So I simply copied the entire MUI directory to my SYS: partition, and added the following lines to my user-startup.

ASSIGN MUI: SYS:MUI
ASSIGN LIBS: MUI:LIBS ADD
PATH MUI:

All MUI software eg Voyager run fine.
