Can't open install script's icon

THX1138 · 26 June 2005, 22:57

Trying to install some software and it couldn't find C:\Installer,so i downloaded this and put it into my Work: c directory but now it comes
up with "Can't open install script's icon " ?

Can anyone throw some light on this ?

AFAIK you have to put the installer in the Workbench c: directory. It worked for me.

THX1138 · 27 June 2005, 19:44

Well.....Like i said in my orignal post,i have already done this,

But still will not work !

What is the exact error message ? One cannot help you if you don't give precise information.

He sounds as if "Can't open install script's icon" is the message he received but I never heard of this error before.

Icon might be damaged (the tooltype part of the icon file maybe!!)

What are you trying to install?

If you read my orignal post it says "Cannot open install script icons"

Can't get more precise then that !

Yes, you can. Quote the real error message word by word, without any place holders. Or even better, make a screen shot and post it here.

What is wrong with you ?

Can you read what it actually says between my two quotes ?

If you can,this is the error message it comes up with !

I believe you.

Possibly it's the version of the Installer that you're using.
Maybe it works with InstallerNG from Aminet.

C: is usually assigned to system2.x:c, system3.x:c or dh0:c (not work:c) if you are running a standard workbench 2 or 3 setup, which I think is what lopos2000 was getting at. If work: is you main (or only) partition then c: is probably assigned to work:c - but this is not the standard setup.

Also, it might be worth checking your startup-sequence and user-startup (in the s: directory of your system/boot partition) to see where c: is being assigned.

My main hard drive partition is called Work: should i change this to dh0: ?

And you are *sure*that you can get the information from there??
ISTR that *solely* non-standard assigns will be put in startup-sequence.
All others are built-in and I reckon that the best way to find out assigns is to use the command assign in CLI with no parameters at all.
