installer 43.3 location

[ItsTheSmell]

I need to add the installerbut i cant figure out where to place it, anyone know?

[AMIGASYSTEM]

By default its position and SYS:Utilities, can also be copied in C: because some installations are without path and then from C: will always be found.
To avoid problems for convenience it is better to copy it in both paths so you will never have error requests.

If you have a well configured system it will be found automatically in Utilities and C even if the icon has no path.

I disagree. I've only ever put it in C, and as that is always in the path, no problems are found.

I'd argue that a system was badly configured if it had the same executable in two different locations. Creating a symbolic link would be a nicer solution.

Yes I also use to put it in C, but many installations require "Utilities" that then as mentioned find however, if in the startup-sequence the folder Utilities is in Path

However OS 3.5 and 3.9 install the Installer command in SYS:Utilities

If you have no special reason for Installer 43.3 you should use V44.10 or newer (if exists) instead.

If an install script asks for a special path or says cannot found Installer, then you can change/remove the path in default tool (icon information of the install script).

I tried putting it in C but it still requested it after a reboot. I'm running WB3.1 from the floppy installed on a HDD. While we're here Ive got an external cf card that seems to be working, I want windows to recognise it so what's the best file system for that and how do I tell my System drive to read it properly?

If you copied "Installer" to C and it doesn't see it, in the Tooltypes Icon Write C:Installer

I cannot find a Tooltypes Icon, driving me mad this

You sure you've got the right archive: http://aminet.net/package/util/misc/Installer?

There's definitely an "Installer.info" file in there...

Anyway, personally after installing "standard WB 3.1" and when trying to install something, I usually get the error about Installer as it's not included:



I then just copy "Installer" from the archive to the hard drive's "C" folder and all good afterwards:

- Select icon Install programs (Setup Icon)
- Menu Icon Information

In the ToolTypes you have to write the installer path example: C:Installer or SYS:Utilities/Installer

The best way should be to just enter "Installer" without path. This way the Installer can be somewhere in the search path and will be found.

[AMIGASYSTEM]

This applies to well-configured systems, a predefined path always works even when a startup-sequence is interrupted or missing

Of course this rule does not apply if the installer is also present in the same folder as the setup

I like the look of your Workbench.

I'm an old Amiga fan and I try to create the system I've always dreamed of

If you want this operating system, you can find it HERE:

A few improvements on backgrounds made lately:

If you're referring to the Workbench Magic, I just turned the system into RTG and added some applications.

So it looks like placing the installer into C: has worked because Ive just installed WHDLoad but when I try to install a LHA decompressor I get the unable to open Installer 43.3 error. Can anyone link me to a good LHA decompressor?

[AMIGASYSTEM]

I don't really understand what you want to unpack, for LHA you don't need any installation, just copy LHA to C.

You can make a screenshot of the error

[ItsTheSmell]

The LHA file I downloaded from Aminet comes as an LHA!

[AMIGASYSTEM]

You can also unpack LHA archive from Windows with WinRAR

2.2 is a very old version.

This is the current one: http://aminet.net/package/util/arc/lha_68k

Or if you download lha for the first time: http://aminet.net/package/util/arc/lha
