Updating WHDLoad

[Kitty]

I just noticed on my classic workbench setup that I have an old version of whdload. How do I go about updating it to the latest version without breaking something in my workbench as obviously its already installed.

Just copy the new files in the C directory of the WHDLoad archive over your old ones. That's it.

contents of C in whdload archive is;

DIC
Patcher
RawDIC
WHDLoad
WHDLoadCD32

I copied these files over with dopus but I dont think its updated as the new version I used originally on my older setup said 1994-2009, yet if you look below its still 1994-2007.



I downloaded this version http://www.whdload.de/whdload/WHDLoad_usr.lha from http://www.whdload.de/

16.9 the latest version? Maybe Im missing other files I need to copy over?

I suggest using the included installer, "intermediate level" when asked (second option). As implied by GH, C: is the path where the core files will be copied/updated. In S: sits whdload.prefs (should be edited to set the quit key) as well as your future reg. key (provided you have planned to licence the bugger).

A quick hint : If you mess up hard with your files, just reload ClassicWB from a backup ('rar/unrar the entire directory from time to time, it should do the trick).

As a side note, v16.8 should play at least 95% of the preinstalled.

You copied/overwritten the files to the "c:" folder of your ClassicWB? Doesn't look like you did it.

hmm said it installed 16.8, weird I downloaded it from the official site anyone got a link to 16.9?

http://www.whdload.de/whdload/WHDLoad_usr.lha < that must be version 16.8 then.

[Graham Humphrey]

The one on the official site you linked to is 16.9. Sure you installed it correctly?

[TCD]

http://www.whdload.de/whdload/WHDLoad_usr.lha is 16.9.

Edit : Too slow

I guess so I did exactly what you said, I extracted all files from the new lha, then I copied over all the files from c to my cwb c folder via dopus.
Would extracting the lha with winrar make a difference?

In DOpus which size and date does your WHDLoad file in 'DH0:C' have?

[Kitty]

Weird I just did it again and it worked this time ?????

I dont know what I did before but I'm sure I did it correct the first time

Ok its all good now, I'll go and hide somewhere for a bit

Hi, I'd like to update my Whdload as well. My problem is I cannot seem to find the whdload folder itself. Which drawer would I find this folder.

I have already downloaded the lha file, Thanks cyber . I just don't know where to put it

I found the whdprefs, but not the actual folder

You put the files (WHDLoad, DIC...) in the 'C' folder of your systems partition (should be DH0. Need some more info (you use ClassicWB right? Which version) to give you a 'walkthrough'

Yep, I use CWB. I'm currently using ADVSP. Sorry for being so vague Thanks for the help as usual, damn I'm such a noob

[TCD]

No problem as usual Just put the WHDLoad archive on your second HDD (the Windows folder one and then use DOpus to extract and put them in DH0:C

[Kitty]

Another Satisfied Customer! Well done TCD

I had no luck with this. for some reason Arc Ext would not execute. I ended using the "Copy" function and ended up with a Whdload drawer in my "S" drawer. I got crafty and deleted it, oops no whdload for me.

I just created a new setup. I think I'll just wait for the next version of CWB. The whole shared directory's thingamajig give me a headache.
Thanks TCD for your assistance anyways

You can also extract the archive in Windows and just copy the files that are in the 'C' folder over to 'DH0:C'. You can do it
