#MagicWB1.2 Install
4 messages in this thread
I posted this message before but no one responded. I hope someone will be
able to help.
I wish to install MagicWB1.2, however I get a message that says something
to the effect that I do not have "Resident" in C: directory. Resident is
an internal command (which I believe means in ROM), so it is not meant to
be in C:. Am I correct?
Regardless, what is it I need to do to complete the job?
I tried MagicWB on my old A500 with the 512K chip ram, however it was too
memory hungry to use for my taste. Now I have a new A1200 with 2MB chip
and 4MB fast ram, so I should be pretty well set.
Am I missing something obvious in my installation?
Config: A1200, 2MBfast 4MB chip ram, 120MB HD, ext floppy, AmigaDOS 3.0.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken Olson
Sounds like the MagicWB1.2 install script has a reference to "C:resident".
You need to edit it with any editor and change the reference to "resident"
That's all!

Thanks Karl.
I just checked. The line says:
assign Magic: ""
resident IU update/IconUpdate pure
if warn
echo "*e[32m Installation aborted due to failure of the 'resisent'
command!*n Please check if you have got the original 'resident' command
in C:*n"
wait 8
quit
endif
I think I can do that simple editing, but it doesn't appear to be looking
at C:. Anyway, I'll look at the script some more and give it a try.

ps. I apologize if 3 separate slightly different versions of this reply
appear.
Ah, the message was from the install script, not the system. OK, that
wasn't it. The install script will whine about the resident command if it
fails for any reason on that line, not just not having the resident
command. Are you running the update from a directory named "IU update"?
Maybe it can't find the file.
