WHDLoad problems

[Vampyre]

Hello!

I have managed to download and start innstalling WHDLoad on my Amiga1200, but after choosing the drawer C in the Workbench folder, I just get the message that it cannot access/open that drawer when pressing "proceed". I have WB3.0 on an 85MB Original HDD and tried the installer program both from the 512MB CF I have WHDLoad on and also directly from the harddrive...

Pls help anyone :S

Don't specify the C drawer to install to, it will do that for you ... Just choose SYS: or Workbench: and see what happens.

It happens exactly the same. I tried to leave it how it shows, I tried to just choose Workbench as you suggest and I have also tried to choose Workbench:C but the message is always the same :

---

Sorry... an Error Has Occured!

FOREACH: Can't examine file or drawer "C" in line 95

DOS Error Type: Unable to locate a file or drawer.

---

I have also downloaded WHLoad again, but the same :S I really cannot get whats wrong because the drawer C are there for sure!!

Frustrating

Have you considered examining the install file and see what line 95 actually wants to do (it's a simple text file, so it should be rather easy)?

In the drawer WHDload, there is the install Icon and an Drawer called S. Its this drawer the install program looks for (so it seems), but since its called S and not C, then the error occurs. So when I renamed it to C it got past this problem but then there is another error message about failing to find drawer S. So I made a copy of S and renamed it C and kept both in the WHDLoad drawer. When I then run the install program, it went all the way through and it said that WHDLoad was installed sucessfully.

But when I try to install a slave, it still says that I have to install WHDLoad or make sure its in the path. Any way I can check that WHDload is in the path? Because as far as I can see the WHDLoad files are now in Workbench:C on my harddrive...

To see if the executable is installed just type "whdload" in a cli window.

Might also be a wrong version of c:installer.

Your archive is bad.
Redownload WHDLoad.

When you extract the archive, you should have BOTH a C and S folder (along with a Docs folder).

You need both, you cant simply rename S to C and expect it to work.

[Vampyre]

Thanks for all the answers.

Yes, it seems like the file for download is bad, because there is just an S drawer and not the C. I have downloaded it both from the official site and Aminet, but they both just come with the S drawer. The renaming was a shot in the dark anyway, but it if course gave me the idea that something was missing though :p

Anyway, anyone know other place I can download the program from?

Sorry for all the stupid Q's, but I am totally new to all this, so thanks for the patience

Download WHDLoad and unpack it in the RAM Disk. Try to install.

@Vampyre

The archive I just downloaded from the official website contains all the files needed (C dir etc.). Make sure to unpack the archive on your Amiga and not on your PC.

Thanks, I am going to do that. I thougth I could just unzip the package directly to the CF card and then run it on the Amiga. But I dont have LHA on the Amiga, so I am trying to find out where to download it from so I can copy it to the C folder. It worked with Installer43_3 so I guess I can just do the same copy with LHA.
