1592.0. "HUBwatch for Windows V3.1 installation fails line 333" by KAOFS::S_HYNDMAN (Acronym Decoder Ring Architect) Wed Oct 19 1994 16:32

    
    
    I am trying to install the new version of HUBwatch for Windows V3.1
    I chose install hubwatch only and it fails with the following error:
    
    Fatal error at script line 333
    Can not open Media Builder Library file
    
    
    Help!

1592.1Try from floppiesWELSWS::GREENRCuriosity Killed The CatWed Oct 19 1994 19:486
    I have had the same problem with past versions when trying to install
    on my notebook from my hard disk. Not sure what caused it but copying
    on to floppies and installing from there always got round it.

1592.2Place files from disks in same directoryNETCAD::WAGNERCOFFILWed Oct 19 1994 20:097
Advice from Sue...

If you install from the hard drive, copy all the files into the same
directory, DON'T create a separate directory for each disk. Installit
doesn't seem to be smart enough to prompt for the other directories when
it finishes with the first one...

    	Putting it in one directory worked.

what a piece of  work this install kit is....  :-)


Not only do all the files need to be in the SAME directory, when installed
off of a hardisk, but the problem is much more evident on a FASTpc.

Fortunately, DEC has only issued me a laptop 320pc, and after putting 
all the eggs into one sock, it all installed, without failing at line 333.

The statement ..GET QUEUED FILES appears to arrive before there are any
queued files to be had.... another, of the many, DOS/Windows interop
problems solved.
