Personal Paint 7.3b for OS3 installer
« on: October 26, 2016, 04:52:29 PM »
I received my CD of Personal Paint 7.3b for OS3 yesterday from AmigaKit! :)
I wanted to install right away but there doesn't seem to be an installer. I tried on my A1200 and A2000 but there just doesn't seem to be a way to install. When I double click the PP icon it just starts the program from the CD. I also looked in all the folders for an installer but, nope! :( What am I missing here? Do I need to install an earlier version first? Even if I install an earlier version, how would I update the files from this new 7.3b version? I'm stumped! :lol: Also, thanks AmigaKit for getting my order of PP and my new ACA1233n accelerator out so fast! AmigaKit is the BEHHHHHST! :)

Just drag the folder from the CD to your hard drive.

And assign PPaint: to the destination directory.

Or use a file manager to copy just the main executable overtop of the old one.

Just FYI, I noticed when I installed mine a month or two back that the docs were updated, but the default tool for the .guide file was IconX instead of MultiView.  Made for an interesting error message, anyway!  ;)

Thanks peeps! Copied CD contents to new folder (show all files) and assigned PPaint: to the destination directory. Works! :)
ASSIGN: [DRIVE]: [DRIVE]:Path/Path in User-Startup
I kind of question the decision for no installer though; especially for newcomers.

@Mike... yup! Crazy infinite loop from .guide file. Sort of like this Hula Hoop! :eek:
