Yes that's currently broken since v1.14

That has always worked fine for me. The installer is a standard AmigaOS 2.x+ install script. There is a slim chance the Ambermoon.net ADF creation script got broken but seems unlikely. I'll try v1.17 tomorrow.

If you have issues. Install using v1.07 and then overwrite the installation with the non ADF patched files from Github

Sure. I don't tend to use the installer much but overwrite our existing HDD install when files are patched.

I finished v1.07 using 040 many times. There were one or two bugs which caused the game to crash but not many and mostly isolated. You could finish just by avoiding those locations. Almost all bugs are now fixed.

The big changes in V1.14 (going to one exe for all languages and all Amigas from 4. Introducing new language files) has brought a few new bugs, mainly with the installer. But they will get fixed

Probably. I don't use WHDLoad slave but Hexxae says he gets better 060 stability. No idea how
