CanNot USe WHDLoad On My A1200

[Gatsu]

Yep i download WHDLoad user style but i cannot use it on my A1200.My HDD ii divided two partitions.WB en Leisure.WHen i try to transfer all contents of whdload on the pc side an error appears : Error during file I/O
But when i try to put files somewhere else there is no problem...

Help me please or i will fed up with Amiga...

If it doesn't work the usual way, then format a 720 KB disk and copy the archive to the disk. Then you can just put the disk into the Amiga after you have mounted the PC0 device, and then copy the archive to your harddrive and unpack it there.

I didn't get it, are you saying all files separately cannot be copied over? Or just the lha/lzx arc connot be copied over? And how do you copy it? Network? Attached Amiga HDD to your PC and using WinUAE?

There should be no problems while copying stuff, i never experienced that.

No need to get fed up, you do not know what you are doing.  What are you trying to transfer?  WHDload user archive or a WHDload game to the PC?  Your post was not clear.

Ok...I think you are right Lets clean up a litte my post...

I have an A1200 with 1.2GB HDD.HDD has two partitions.One is named WB one is named Leisure.I install the WorkBench 3.1 to WB partition.I am transferring my files from PC to A1200 with null modem cable by AmigaExplorer software.
When i try to transfer WHDLoader user archive files to C: directory under WB partition AmiExp gives I/O error.I can handle this by showing all files.I could transfer WHDLoad drawer to C: directory.

Now on the A1200 side when i press the Install in the WHDLoad drawer it says "Unable to open your tool 'Installer' "

And i noticed that theres a WHDLoader icon in C: directory in WHDLoader drawer.When i try to run this icon WHDLoad screen appears after this screen it says DOS-Error #205(object not found) on loading "WHDLoad.Slave"
After this error on the output window "WHDLoad failed returncode 10" message appers.

For making a try i  have downloaded Zool2 install version.I transfer the files via null modem cable to Leusire partition on my HDD.When i try to run Install it says "Unable to open your tool 'Installer' "

I think its more clean now....But i am litte bit hopeless.Please help me because most importent side of a classic amiga is playing games with it for me...

Thanks for your help...

And this night i noticed that i think i have a some kind of problem with installs but i dont know what is it exactly.
I transfer user archives of DaCoolInstaller and NewInstaller via NullModemCable but when i try to run install icon of both two this error message appears "Unable to open your tool 'Installer' "

What can it be....?

 :-(

Ok, your new post makes it a bit easier to help you. The error saying "Unable to open your tool Installer" means that you are missing the tool called Installer. It should be placed in the C: drawer. I think you can download it from Aminet, but IIRC the file is also somewhere on your Install 3.1 disk.

Before you get the install script for WHDLoad running you will not be able to run any WHDLoad software. The error code you are describing could be two things. Either you haven't got a fully installed WHDLoad game, or the WHDLoad file is missing. This file should also be placed in C:

There is no need to copy the WHDLoad archive drawer to C:, as the files you need will be copied by the installer. Therefore it's not enough to place the whole drawer in C:, as Workbench still won't be able to find the WHDLoad tool.

However, you can copy the WHDLoad tool by hand. Go to the WHDLoad drawer (from your description it sounds like this would be WB:C/WHDLoad) and enter these lines :

Copy C/WHDLoad to c:
Copy C/DIC to c:
Copy C/Patcher to c:
Copy C/RawDIC to c:
Copy S/WHDLoad.prefs to s:

Now you have WHDLoad installed, so enjoy :-)

Well Well Well after puttin the installer tool on my C: i can install the WHDLoader.But there's a few problems too

First of all when i download installer of a game do i need the diskettes of game???

[doctorq]

Yes, the downloads from WHDLoad.de is only the installer and not the whole game.
