mui3.8usr

[Unregistered]

Hi I am new to UAE....
I have managed to get a working 3.1 hd partition up and running.
I have installed picasso 96 and magicwb.

However I cant get MUI3.8usr to install. The process starts, but then stops with the error


Copylib: cant open file ""in line 299

DOS error type: unable to locate a file or drawer

Any ideas how to sort it out ?

It's been a while, but I think it's got something to do with the "installer" program you have

Try this one : http://wuarchive.wustl.edu/pub/aminet/util/misc/Installer-43_3.lha

Just place it into a place which is accessible ( SYS:C/ usually works well )

hi I registered there.


Thx for response, but no joy.

Am i trying to install mui in the right place?

I simply accept the defalt, directly into the root dir of my hd...

Try to install MUI from RAM disk.

If I remember correctly there is harddisk emulation and MUI installer incompatibility. (But don't ask me for a fix :) )

Hithx again, but still no joy.

I am using the official unregistered version from www.sasg.com

Anyone else able to help?

[Amigaboy]

um...

ok. Obviously it's got something to do with the filename of one of the files because I remember it working fine with a normal Amiga. I also remember it screwing up on emulation, so yeah, it's WinUAE's fault :(

Rather than using Novice/Intermediate modes, give expert a try. Accept the defaults for most of them. You'll eventually get to the part where it says "File Not Found". Since you're on expert, you'll know which file it's screwing up on and you can choose not to install it next time :D

Hi all!
I gave expert install a go. The problem still arises.
I tried skipping the first part of the install (readme files) to no avail.

Is MUI essential?

[Amigaboy]

MUI is not essential. It's only a GUI system, BUT!, there's quite a few applications that use it. Especially internet apps

You don't need it though, so if you're having this much trouble, I say just forget about it

Ok thx for all your swift responses!
Now I know why I love the Amiga....

Such nice people !!!

BTW I just found amiga gaming heaven!!!

I downloaded Alien Breed 3d 2 TKG.

What heaven lol
