It's because of the smiley face icon I think. Sounds like you are using a Windows folder for your WinUAE hard drive. The Windows filesystem can't handle the character used in the smiley face icon's filename, so WinUAE can't find it. You will need to extract the MUI archive in to a WinUAE hardfile, or maybe in to RAM, and install from there.

So you have already tried installing from _and_ to a hardfile?

You don't need a hardfile, WinUAE handles non-Windows file names internally. Just make sure you use AmigaOS utilities to unpack the LhA archive, don't use WinRAR or similar.

If you use UnArc, you also have to make sure to have Boinbag 1 installed because the first version of UnArc cannot handle file names with spaces, either. Better use the original LhA program to unpack the archive.

Bye,
Thomas
