what do I need to do to get this install scirpt to run?

nowadays I'm forgetting things more than I remember things

Downloaded a WarpDT update via AmiUpdate but when I run the script it opens up MultiEdit? Go to Info-Icon-Default Tool and change it to Installer? IconX?

so what default tool will run this installs script then

Try "SYS:Utilities/Installation Utility" or
"Sys:system/Python/python"

You beat me to it! 6 minutes to late! ;)

It should be "Installation Utility" in SYS:Utilities

thanks guys so I don't have that/those files so it seems I don't have python installed?? Latest version on OS4depot is from 2006 for OS4 ???

Python executable should be in C, try C:Python

That all should actually be included in a standard OS 4 installation. Strange.

just install them by hand, omg who uses python as an installer script crazy

The OS ;)

I've installed every update since OS4.1 came out so no idea

OS4 also has the old OS3-style installer (SYS:Utilities/Installer). Since WarpDT is cross-Amiga-platform, it's more likely that it uses this installer rather than the Python-based installation utility, which is OS4 only.

where can I get this "Installation Utility" ? can't find it on aminet or OS4depot?

It's part of OS4.1, as is the older Installer, so you should already have both. They both live in Sys:Utilities, though only the Installation Utility has an icon.

@msteed

ok thanks, for some reason I must have removed it but found an old sys backup from a while back and copied the file back. Now I'm getting an error message from Installation Utility "ERROR:Python Runtime Error,Return code-1" ?

so where do I get the Rabbit hole...er Python now ?

Python comes with OS 4.1 too, so you should already have it as well. Python has several parts: There's a small program called Python that lives in Sys:C. There's also libpython25.so, which lives in Sys:SObjs. Finally, there's a Python directory in Sys:System that has a bunch of other files that Python uses. Check to see if any of these have also gone missing.
