Problem installing CGX4
 

Hi

Yesterday I tried installing CGX4 on my system for the very first time, its a BPPC based system with BVision, OS is ClassicWB OS3.9.

As I currently have no way to connect a CDROM drive, I've made an ISO from the installation CD (not original, but known to work on a friend's system) and mounted it on my A1200 using DiskImage.

When I try to run the installation, I get an Installer requester with the following error:
"Unable to compile script.
ERROR: Symbol name not valid here on line 671".

This happens immediately, installation doesnt start at all.
The "Upgrade" option on the CD does start Ok, but that doesnt help me :)

As I understand, this is an Installer problem.
So far I've tried replacing my existing Installer with the one supplied on the CD (v43.3), which didnt help.
I also tried copying the CD to a folder & running it from there (with the proper assign for the CD name), same result here as well :(

I've looked at the installation script, line #671, but all it contains is a ')' symbol.

Any idea what to try next? :help

Thanks in advance!

What's the command between this ) and the corresponding ( ?

Hi

Lines 670,671 contain only ')' symbols, its closing a block handling the French language strings.
I tried completely removing this block but then I got the same error for the block above it...

Do not change the script. Try to select another language. If the script does not allow to select a language, change locale prefs. You can change it back after installation.

The script is using a parameter called 'language' to detect the current language, English is default.

Btw, the exact same code exists in the Update script (from CGX3->4) and it works ok there.

Just tried using different locales, no change :(
Also tried on WinUAE, using a clean CWB3.9 install, same result.

Going to try on a clean OS3.9 install, maybe its a CWB issue?

Same result with a clean OS3.9 install (with BB1+2).
I asked a friend to send me a copy of the install script since I thought maybe mine is corrupted, but they're identical.

No idea how to continue from here...

Just wanted to update that the problem was solved, got my hands on a different copy of the CD (from the TOSEC collection) and it works now :)

Sorry for the trouble!
