I can't get ToolsDaemon running on my 1200

I think it's workbench 2 I have on it. on the HDD

I downloaded toolsdaemon 2.1a and put the entire drawer on my HDD. There's some files in there like Install but when I try to install it a message pops up saying 'unable to open your tool installer' The icon that is simply just 'toolsdaemon' does nothing when I double click it. Also when I double click it again a message pops up saying "ToolsDaemon terminating" [proceed] ..great!

also Toolsprefs pops up the message "you need reqtools.library v38+" [abort] it's like every file is moaning and not working

dammit I really want this program to work it's very useful!

Well, you get reasonable error messages so it isn't that hard to solve your problems.

"Unable to open your tool installer" -> Installer is missing, download it from Aminet (this should do fine)
"you need reqtools.library v38+" -> guess what, you need Reqtools Library, can be found on Aminet as well: http://aminet.net/util/libs/ReqToolsUsr.lha

Download these packages, install the installer (yay

) and then just execute the install script and everything should be installed.
