Hi,
read this as a user experience report. Maybe you can add a few messages here and there to make more clear what is going on. Let me ask a single question, before we start: the Installer just takes any packages found, so for newer versions I just have to download them and put them so they are found by the installer? In this case, I am happy for now ;) after having all files in place (on disk), I started the installer. It asks were to install to. I wrote c:\test since I am not sure, if it wants to know the DOS location. any suggestion would be nice. ** was a good idea, now I can compare the DOS and TEST dirs. **** yes, it would have overwritten more recent software In the first time, I called the install.exe from the wrong location. I did not get any error message, it just did not install anything in no time *g* Answering the questions "install all" and "install source" seems to be odd. First tried N, N which resulted in an empty install. (still wrong location). Then I tried Y,N which was printed as Y,Y on screen. Maybe the installer was confused, because I pressed Z instead. OT: My only USB keyboard for switchung between machines is a US keyboard I got from the flea market a few weeks ago. Somebody brute force swapped a few keys (eg Y and Z), for making it more like a german keyboard. So its neither US nor DE, its a mess. Have to undo this... Now I realized the problem calling from the wrong location. I ran install.exe again. this time N,N which did not ask which packages actually to install. So it did install all packages? Then why did it ask? I got error messages "TZ envirnoment variable not found, cannot use UTC time" "excluded filename does not match source/*" which is because the 1.0 packages do not have a source folder. (yes, I did read the docs) Note: why didn't ask the installer for the locale (keyb) to install? (not this one but when I initially installed freedos) thanks, JPT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.
