"Unable to open your tool 'Installer' "-Workbench 3.1
So, as promised, i can keep going with stupid questions, forever. And yeah, i do try and solve them on my own first.
Got this software, it has a installer, i try and run it, and i get a error message. "Unable to open your tool 'Installer'" Ooookay... Um.. I hit my favorite forum, and a few moments later i realize that it's simply a tool that should be on the floppies, or if i want a updated version, on aminet. Ok, so i should put this in Workbench/C. Great, thats it, now then. Still no luck. So, clearly, i'm missing something. It's a clean install, this is the first thing getting moved in to the system, on WinUAE. This is a learning experience, trying to get some experience so that i can make a better suited config for my real Amiga. Assume that my knowledge is zero, and you get quite close to the truth. B! |

Yes, put the installer in C: dir.
Also check the information of the icon your trying to launch. Check where its looking for installer. |

Make sure you've placed it in your boot partition's 'c' folder. You can also try the version on KG's site : http://kg.whdownload.com/kgwhd/files.php

Change the default tool line from "installer" to "C:Installer" and it should work fine.

Putting it in the same folder, sorry drawer as the install needing to be installed worked to. I wouldn't know where to edit the tool line. *blushing*
At least i know a solution if it doesn't work another time. B! |

Again, just proves what i know. Currently WinUAE is copying my harddrive to a HDF, so i cant test it, but i now know which window your thinking of... And what i meant with the fist sentence is shown now... You can CHANGE stuff in there? I know there are tick-boxes for file attributes, but that was it in my mind... The more i learn, the less i understand, this is not going to well i am afraid.
Sorry, i'll try my best not to ask TO many stupid questions. I'll get back to you all on this topic in a bit. B! Edit Never did get back to ya all on this. Indeed, c:installer worked just as intended. And saves some space used for my copy of installer in the directory, if left undeleted... (It's a neater way, and should have been that way to start with i guess.) Thanks Anakiron. It was to obvious, i wouldn't have figured it out on my own... *sigh* i over complicate everything. /Edit Last edited by Mr B; 01 April 2011 at 22:16. |
