Problem installing CGX4
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! |

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! |
