Having Problems Installing LHA Unity

CryptidWorks · 14 January 2021, 10:54

I'm following a guide trying to install the unity for unpacking LHA files in WB3.1 and keep getting a command line error when I try to unpack it

The answer is in your screenshot (second line). The "//" from the instruction page mark the comment following. I.e. it is not part of the command line.

Okay, I went through all the steps and it seems to have unpacked it to c: correctly but the lha x file command still won't work.

Looking at your second screenshot; the LHA exes are still named "lha_68020" and "lha_68040"...

In CLI / Shell do the following:

Code:

CD DH0:C
Dir lha#?

Note what LHA files are there.

You then need to rename LHA_68020 --> LHA so:

Code:

Rename LHA_68020 LHA

Thanks

The guide I used just kind of said "run these commands to unpack it and you're done" without mentioning that part

after looking at the page you posted about the lha command.. i see where you went wrong..
They where using // to seperate the command from some info, like a programmer would use to comment their code.

Type: lha.run Ram: // LHA will be extracted onto the Ram Disk

the commands for lha are pretty easy..
Lha x filename.lha destination: //for extraction
Lha -r a filename.lha source: //for creation
where -r is recursive..

you should also install the LZX archiver aswell.. as it has better compression and some uploaded dated on the server is LZX'ed.

Remaned the file and still getting the same error. Also I'm getting error when I run the process of copying the LHA to C if that helps anything.

Edit: and have some fiddling it's randomly working now

The syntax of your copy command is wrong. There is a space between "ram:" and "lha_68020". Remove it. If you want to copy lha from Ram: to C: then use this:

Code:

copy Ram:lha_68020 c:lha

First, check where the content of Ram: was copied to and clean it up. I don't know what happened with the wrong copy command from your screenshot.

"Copy Ram: lha_68020 C:lha"

Don't put space between Drive and File, this ended up creating "lha" directory to C: and copying everything from Ram: there.

First remove unwanted C:lha directory by "Delete C:lha all".
Then "Copy Ram:lha C:" (or lha_68020 if it's not renamed yet).
