Installing to Hardrive

Can anyone help.

I have downloaded F1 Manager from several locations, the last time was not as ADF format but the orignal from the makers web site but I cannot get UAE to install it to the hide drive.

All that happens is that it says 'Your Installer will not load'. I have tried many ways. This also happens with other files (all ADF) but Workbench will install.

Any ideas

Thanks

What version of Workbench do you have installed?

Is it a FULL installation from the master ADF files or one that you have downloaded from the internet?

What I am getting at is that some versions of the Workbench ADFs on the net have missing library files and sometimes even the installer binary is missing from the C folder.

Things to check:

1. Libraries folder for reqtools etc, asl etc...
2. C folder for installer

Another thing that is worth asking, what format did F1 Manager come in from the original web site? you say it wasn't an ADF!?

If it's a zip/lha file that contains "installer" you could try replacing the version on your Workbench with the one from the archive....

More info is required I think.

Thanks for your reply

Workbench was from Internet download and the other format was an lha file that included Installer (I think).

I will have a good look over this Easter weekend and post my results.

Thanks Again

Here's anothe idea in case non of my other suggestions work out, go to the utils section at:

Look in the Monitor/Snoop section and download SnoopDOS, install it in UAE on your Workbench HDF then start it.

Now press the multi-task button (far top right) or reduce the window size, try the installer for F1 Manager again and look out for errors in the SnoopDOS window.

Simpe.

Hi,

Thanks for your help, but no luck. I've not got the installer in the C: directory so have given up trying to install at present

Thanks again
