#Amiga SW and ease of use

Steve,
Thanks for your help.
I know this. The icon doesn't specify ANY path for Installer. I am running
WB 2.1, which I believe, will use the system path. That path includes C:,
which includes the directory that contains an "Installer" program. It's
just that it doesn't find it, or it is the wrong Installer.
BTW, Brian Bartlett hit on a possible problem with the path add statement
of Assign. By specifying a path to Installer in the icon, I got it to run.
But I got errors midway through the installation. I turned on the log
function, ran the installation again, tracked down the log file, and found
a reference to an error on line 96. Looking at the Installer script, line
96 is a (Library) command. So something about that statement chokes the
Installer program on my system. Remember, I am still just trying to read a
darn newsletter.

Tab,
Sub-directories aren't part of your path. That is, if C: is in
your path, C:<subdirectory> isn't included.
Don
Don,
Thanks for your attempt to help, but you posted to me,
"Sub-directories aren't part of your path. That is, if C: is in your
path, C:<subdirectory> isn't included."
In all honesty, I haven't a clue as to where you got the idea that I have
subdirectories under my C: directory. I don't.

Tab,
Your post said, "That path includes C:, which includes the directory
that contains and Installer program"
I presumed from that message that C: had subdirectories in it.
Don
Don,
Thanks, but no it does not contain subdirectories. It is a compound
Assign, which under WB 2.04+ allows multiple physical directories to
be part of logical directories assigned on the system. I set up my
C: directory with
ASSIGN C: SYS:C SYS:CC
This makes both SYS:C and SYS:CC part of logical C: directory. But neither
:C nor :CC have subdirectories.
