Problem installing CGX4

UberFreak · 27 February 2011, 13:36

Hi

Yesterday I tried installing CGX4 on my system for the very first time, its a BPPC based system with BVision, OS is ClassicWB OS3.9.

As I currently have no way to connect a CDROM drive, I've made an ISO from the installation CD (not original, but known to work on a friend's system) and mounted it on my A1200 using DiskImage.

When I try to run the installation, I get an Installer requester with the following error:
"Unable to compile script.
ERROR: Symbol name not valid here on line 671".

This happens immediately, installation doesnt start at all.
The "Upgrade" option on the CD does start Ok, but that doesnt help me

As I understand, this is an Installer problem.
So far I've tried replacing my existing Installer with the one supplied on the CD (v43.3), which didnt help.
I also tried copying the CD to a folder & running it from there (with the proper assign for the CD name), same result here as well

I've looked at the installation script, line #671, but all it contains is a ')' symbol.

Any idea what to try next?

Thanks in advance!

What's the command between this ) and the corresponding ( ?

Hi

Lines 670,671 contain only ')' symbols, its closing a block handling the French language strings.
I tried completely removing this block but then I got the same error for the block above it...

Do not change the script. Try to select another language. If the script does not allow to select a language, change locale prefs. You can change it back after installation.

The script is using a parameter called 'language' to detect the current language, English is default.

Btw, the exact same code exists in the Update script (from CGX3->4) and it works ok there.

Just tried using different locales, no change

Also tried on WinUAE, using a clean CWB3.9 install, same result.

Going to try on a clean OS3.9 install, maybe its a CWB issue?

Same result with a clean OS3.9 install (with BB1+2).
I asked a friend to send me a copy of the install script since I thought maybe mine is corrupted, but they're identical.

No idea how to continue from here...

Just wanted to update that the problem was solved, got my hands on a different copy of the CD (from the TOSEC collection) and it works now

Sorry for the trouble!
