Can´t install Boing Bag 1!!!
« on: December 30, 2004, 03:10:17 PM »
Well...the title says it all

Cant install BB1 over 3.9
I get a "fatal error" just when the script begins...

I downloaded BB1 from H&P site and from Amiga.com...

What´s wrong?

Happy New Year!!

You might be using the wrong version of Installer.

Make sure it's the same version as the one on the CD (CD:\OS-Version3.9\C\Installer) and that the icon points to that one (I've had a case in the past where Installer was in System dir or somewhere similar that caused problems before).

--edit--

Happy Hogmanay for tomorrow :-D

@ Vincent

What about using InstallerNG? Have you tried it?

Im not sure about the version.
All i did last week was installing OS 3.9 over an old 3.1 partition

Yesterday i downloaded BB1 & 2. Of course i couldnt install BB2 because a requester asked me about installing BB1 first.

Im not sure but i thing latest Installer was installed during OS 3.9 installation?? Or i still keep the Installer from 3.1??

;)

InstallerNG is fine... also make sure you don't unpack the archives with the unpacker that comes with OS3.9 as it seem to have trouble with something... just unpack with Lha instead.

InstallerNG should be fine, but I've never really used it.  I only use the installer from OS3.9 (I have no idea which version it is and I can't check it at the moment).

I had exactly the same problem last week.  My machine would show fatal error (Line 3) when trying to launch the install script of BB1 (curiously not with BB2).  Just edit out the first few lines of the install script file that installer uses to open a custom screen for the install (I think it's lines 3-9 if I remember right).  After that, installer will just open a small window on the workbench desktop and it will install itself nicely.

@Argus : did what you told me. I had the exact same problem as you "Error line 3"
Well i deleted lines, now i get this requester :

" This update needs AmigaOS 3.9 Please install it first!
   This update is not intended for AmigaOS 3.5!"

Obviously something´s wrong here, since i already have installed 3.9 in my system!!!!
 :-o

After that, nothing happens...

Ok Ok!! Stop Press!! I did it!!
Finally!!
I just downloaded again all Boing Bags, and unpacked them using lha from DOpus 4 , not from Dopus5...and it worked!!!
Now im about to install BB2!! Glad i made it finally!!
And it makes me thing...i used to consider myself a rather average Amiga user, and now, with all this, i feel worst than a newbie!!!


 :lol:  :lol:  :lol:
anyway, thank you all for all tips & patience!!!
