Newbie installing for the first time - and having questions

pikewerfer · 12 September 2021, 16:21

I haven't dealt with Amiga in almost 25 years - but recently got back into the scene (at least I am trying really hard!). So I purchased AmigaOS 4.1 and installed it on WinUAE.

Worked like a blast. WOW! Supernice!

I then started AmiUpdate and downloaded all updates, installed them.

Unfortunately, I did not pay close attention (stupid me!) - I do believe there was some issue with one of the installations, but I, unfortunately, clicked it away before realizing it was an important message.

When I rebooted my (emulated) Amiga, I get:

MUI:PATCHASL: unknown command
MUI:PATCHASL: failed return code 10

during startup. So something either in the startup-sequence or in user-startup seems to be going wrong. The Amiga, however, starts without any issue. I do believe one of the updates was connected with MUI. Did this packet fail during install? How can I fix this? Thanks for your help!

That may be due to an issue with the MUI auto installer; apparently it may fail to install the patch option; see https://forum.hyperion-entertainment...p=42844#p42844 .

Thank you so much for the info. What exactly would I need to re-install in order to try again? I cannot find an lha for ASL PATCH, so I assume the whole MUI needs to be re-installed? Which package would that be?

I assume this was the MUI-5.0-20210831-os4 install. I will repeat the install. Please hold :-)

and no - that did not fix it. Installed just fine - but the error messages on boot still flash up. What else can I do?
