MUI required?

RabidRabbit · 26 March 2009, 11:11

Hi all,

Finally gotten round to recreating my beloved Amiga with WinUAE!! Whoo!

However, when trying to run thingslike iBrowse I keep getting messages such as:

failed to open muimaster.library

Does anyone know how I can get hold of this?

thanks in advance!

You need to install the MUI package, you can grab it from Aminet.

Hi,

I keep getting an error message:

[directory] cannot create MUI\

Anyone know the problem?

Unpack MUI archive inside emulation, do not use PC unarchivers.

Thanks.

I thought that may be it but when I do it says its an usupported archive and maybe I need a new version of lha.

I think i've got a new one but is there an even newer version?

Thanks for the replies guys!

Download lha from Aminet. (LhA_e138.run is guaranteed to work, I guess newer ones also do work..)

Thanks Toni, that's great.

Alas i'm at work now so won;t be able to try it until tonight...grrrrr!!!

With a file name ending in .run, is it the same procedure for running it i.e. just copy it into C and use cli?

the extension doesnt matter, it will just show, that you can execute it within the cli. it will then unpack differnet lha version (000, 020, etc). if unpacked, copy for example lha.000 to c:lha .
edit: if LhA_e138.run is in work:tools/ , start a shell (cli) , then "cd work:tools" and "LhA_e138.run<ENTER>" (without those ""). then "copy lha.000 c:lha". thats it, i'd say.

lha.run is a self executing archive which should put all the required files to their respective places. After that, you should be pointing any lha functions to your C: Directory. (Dopus Lha functions for example)

Lha will extract the files correctly, whereas UnArc in the OS3.5 & 3.9 Op. Systems does not & will leave you with Install errors.

Toni Wilen is spot on!

Two hints:

1- the decompress utility built-in in OS3.9 don't "like" files with no name (which MUI have);

2- LHA version 2.12 is still crappy! Useful only for packages who uses the lha6 compression level.

For those who don't believe me: download a huge lha archive (over 50Mb) and decompress it with both versions, then "eval" the directories. You will get a not exactly good surprise...
