ClassicWb error

Djay · 20 January 2003, 22:31

ClassicWb error...

i have followed the instructions to the letter, however when i reboot with the Setup adf in df0:... it displays an "TZ enviroment variable can not enable UTC times", this error message quickly goes, and i'm asked for Wb3.0 disk, it does something.. and says all files copied, please reboot..

i reboot, and all i get is a 1> prompt

WinUAE config is...

Full ECS
Windowed 640x512 display
68020 proc, fastest possible
kick3.0
8mb Chip
HD = Volume:DH0 - Local_Disk.hdf @100Mb

any ideas???

well yes I have an Idea - Im off to make a pizza! MmMmMMMmmm PPPIIIIIIIZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAAA!

ok, as your just getting a '1>' prompt it means it hasn't found the s:startup-sequence so it just dumps you into dos...

try typing 'info' to check what drives are mounted.

if you type 'dir' and something resembling a workbench disk is listed (c, fonts, libs, l, s drawers etc) just type loadwb to get to a very limited workbench...

if you can get to workbench at all, check in hdtoolbox to see that you actually have your partition set as 'bootable' and that it has a higher priority than the floppy drive (4 is good).

Never heard of this error before. Paul and others have successfully installed my Workbench setup, perhaps it's something to do with the newest WinUAE?????

With being away from the Amiga scene for two months I'll have to try installing it myself and see if I can recreate the problem before I can advise any further.

Those WB packs are definitely ok however - as I've already mentioned others have installed them.

Daz, get some pizza rustled up for me. It's great problem solving tucker.

Just realised that this message is harmless:

"TZ enviroment variable can not enable UTC times"

it just means that when I zipped up the archive the time option was not enabled.

Djay, what pack did you download?

The advanced, Full or Lite?

Daz · 21 January 2003, 19:00

Pizza's On Its Way!

I've installed the classicWb's before no probs for me i'm happy to say

Djay · 21 January 2003, 22:17

i used Advanced.... but i think i had the same prob with Full version...

after it has extracted the system.zip (which takes only a few seconds?!??!), i quit winuae, then check the contents of the HDF (using viewadf shell) and i only get :-

Trashcan
c
s
System.zip
Trashcan.info

files

i'm still confused... ARGHHH i want this to work.. i'm normally quite good at solving these types of issues

Twas a bog standard Cheese 'n' Tomato - Was a 16 incher though

Bloodwych · 23 January 2003, 22:21

Hmm. Just tried installing my ClassicWB ADV as I've described in the instructions and had zero problems.

I used the latest WinUAE and your setup djay. Below is a pic of the files unpacking.

Djay · 23 January 2003, 22:47

AHHH HAAA!!!

it doesn't unpack.... on my system then... it does not do anything like your screen grab!!!

it displays...

TZ enviroment variable can not enable UTC times

Archive : DH0: System.Zip

then after about 3 secs it display some text for only a millisecond...

the screen clears... and then displays it needs Wb3.0 which is successfull

if i soft reset it then displays the 1> prompt, as before if i go into the HDF, only then above files are displayed (previous post)

Bloodwych · 23 January 2003, 23:02

Looks like unzip is failing to unpack the archive.

When you say 8MB chip in your setup, you do mean 2mb chip and 6mb fast?

unzip needs fastRAM to work. I suggest 2MB chip and 8MB fast, giving 10MB in all.

You can use Z3-fast instead of normal fast if you wish to have more than 10 MB RAM.

Djay · 23 January 2003, 23:06

i managed to pause winuae in the millisecond that the error message was displayed.... i got most of it....

Daz · 23 January 2003, 23:09

silly question but have you tried re-downloading the zip?

oh sorry i didn't know.. lemme try again...

Djay · 23 January 2003, 23:13

tried fast ram.. still no joy!!!!

the zip file seems fine if it open with winzip (apart from the windows error)

Bloodwych · 23 January 2003, 23:14

It looks like the zip is corrupt, but since it was extracted from the ClassicWB ADV package without a CRC error occurring that would seem unlikely. hmmmm

BTW, keep the 2mb chipram and fastram setup. It offers the best compatibility.

Daz · 23 January 2003, 23:16

just send him your version Bloodwych

Djay · 23 January 2003, 23:18

tried Z3 fast ram @ 32mb, still no joy, can you check my config... ignore the description (its wrong)....

i copied the System.Zip, exactly as your instructions say to do it BTW

Bloodwych · 23 January 2003, 23:20

Which WinUAE are you using?
