WinUAE WHDLoad Install Problem

[dlfrsilver]

you pick up installer 43.3 from aminet, then you go on CLI and type :

1) go on directory : system:C/ and return

2) from here, type : lha x ram:installer-43_3.lha
(i suppose you put installer archive in RAM)

installer program file must then be in system/C folder.

Now try to install a game.

[TCD]

The lha has a folder in it, so you have to move the installer file from there to 'C'. But yes, first extract it. Just checked Flood again and it should simply start. Hope someone can shed some light on this one, because the same thing happened yesterday on a real Amiga.

Ok what I did was opened the lha with winrar and extracted Installer to C, then when I tried to install NewIcons again this happend!, you were right about things not being simple lol, thanks for your patience with me by the way

That advised webpage is dead also

All I found on Aminet was a demo version

http://aminet.net/package/dev/gui/ClassAct2Demo

[Kitty]

Is this what I need > http://aminet.net/package/dev/gui/classact33

Also I have Installer in C and Flood still dont run.

Since you already know how to edit files on the Windows side, let's just skip the installer nonsense Copy 'newicons' to 'c' and then comes the a bit more tricky part. In the folder 'S' you find the 'startup-sequence'. You need to edit it, but it needs to be saved in unix format (different line-breaks). You can use Notepad+ for that. Edit the startup-sequence and put 'run <>NIL: c:newicons' after the lines which start with 'PATH'.

You can have a fully working Workbench 3.1 environment with AmigaSYS, with the necessary libraries and tools, provided you own legit WB 3.1 ADFs.

Then you can come back later to building your very own system (AmigaOS 3.9, why go for less ), brick by brick, which is not very difficult but requires some understanding of the Amigaian way of life .

OK now you lost me completly lol

I have NewIcons folder (with loads of files inside) and NewIconsV4.info in my utils folder in winuae, so cut/paste the NewIcons folder to C first?

I need idiots guide help you see lol

Edit Ive edited the PATH line in startup-sequence in S, just need to know about the NewIcons folder

[TCD]

Only put the file 'newicons' which you find in the NewIcons folder in 'c'. Then only the main problem with WHDLoad remains

No, don't change the path line. Put the line I posted after that (in its own line).

[Kitty]

dammit, I cant remember what the other path line was now xD

[TCD]

Path >NIL: RAM: C: SYS:Utilities SYS:Rexxc SYS:System S: SYS:Prefs SYS:WBStartup SYS:Tools SYS:Tools/Commodities

[Kitty]

Correct?

[TCD]

Sorry, but without the 'Path >'. Just 'run <>NIL: c:newicons'. We're almost there (for the newicons that is)

[Kitty]

Missing or Obsolete Library! flashes up really quick then it goes to this

[Kitty]

Only put the file 'newicons' which you find in the NewIcons folder in 'c'.

I'm guessing some other files from the NewIcons folder are needed?

[TCD]

Oops... you also need the 'newicon.library' from the 'NewIconsV4\Libs\LE' folder. Put it in your 'Libs' folder.

[Kitty]

Success!!!

Ok just gotta get WHDLoad to work now, when I click on either of those games, nothing happens.

[TCD]

Phew
Okay, let's check it again :
WHDLoad in 'C'.
WHDLoad.prefs in 'S'.
You aren't using any *cough* 'test' key.

[Kitty]

WHDLoad in C - Check
WHLoad.prefs in S - Check

test key?

Forget about it then
Try to run it from CLI (maybe there is an error message then). Goto the Flood folder ('CD Flood' should do) and type 'WHDLoad Flood.slave' (and press return ).
