The update archives are not designed to be installed by hand, but by AmiUpdate itself.

The Autoinstall script is not an Installer script either, and it wont work that way.

I don't understand how you are the only one to report this with the default theme. I shall have to install Aqua and try it for myself

Simon

@Raziel

Is this only when using a theme? Have you tried it with the GUI defaults?

/me runs after Raziel screaming...:)

Simon

Just for the record, it's fixed :)

Simon

@Raziel

Right, OK, we are making progress now. So to sum up:

If you run the program normally, iconify, uniconify and quit, there is no corruption?

But if you start the program iconified, uniconify and quit, the palette gets corrupted?

Is that true? If so, I think I may be able to narrow it down.

Simon

@Raziel

OK, as we now know, this is related to being started iconified, so can you run the program normally, then iconify it, uniconify it, then quit. Is the corruption back again?

Also, which iconify method do you use? Icon, menu, or both?

Simon

@Raziel

When you get the palette corruption, can you tell me how you are starting AmiUpdate, and whether the internet connection has actually come up before starting it...

Simon

@Chris

My fault, sorry Chris. I added the account and forgot to add the applications. I'm still writing various bits of the website currently, so until everything is finished, I'm afraid this may happen.

My apologies again.

Simon

@MichaelMerkel

You should find your account active now

Simon

@MichaelMerkel

OK, can you try it again for me, it appears a script was in the wrong directory, and it works for me now.

Many thanks

Simon

@MichaelMerkel

Yes, well at least it works locally. I can't really test much more than that, so if it doesn't work from the production box, I'm at a loss.

I'll check it tommmorrow with some dummy accounts just to be sure

Simon

@Vader

Strangely, I have the "Best" option set, and it is still unreproducible.

Nice try though :)

Simon

Those of you that are developing application listed in the AmiUpdate database are now invited to register for an account on amiupdate.net. This will allow you to manage the updating process within the database yourselves.

Check the 'accounts' section for further details.

I'm sure you must have been using AmiUpdate for long enough now to realise that there is a mechanism for supporting 3rd party applications. This doesn't rely on a fixed path, but on a per-application facility incorporated into applications by the developer. Removing programs is not down to AmiUpdate really, but more to an uninstaller supplied by the application developer, although you can use Rollback to go back a version after updating.

More information can be found at www.amiupdate.net in the developers section.

You may also want to check the database contents section too, this will show you that there are a few non-fixed path applications already supported, with hopefully more to follow

@spotUP + Raziel

As much information as possible would be really helpfull here, as I am unable to reproduce the problem here

Simon

@Hans

IIRC the AGP shares the interrupt with the PCI66 slot, so in that case, no, you cannot use them both at the same time.

Simon

@Mason

I have included AISS in the AmiUpdate database now, but it is failing on the version of the WBStartup/AISS script. Upon inspection, it's missing the date, so could you change it to:

$VER: AISS 4.2 (8.9.2007)

for the next update? (Obviously the date needs to be correct :)


Simon

@Jurassicc

Yep, mine has the same quick each time it is disconnected from the mains. It's definiately worth a try.

Simon

So Mikey, now you have a brand new shiney OS4 update, are you still selling up? :)

Simon

This game didn't work at all for me. The screen went black as though the game was about to start, the pointer changed shape, and that was it. I had to reset the machine.

Micro A1 with 256MB and a 750FX

Simon

I'm guessing Mikey has been given something to test.....
