The new install script works fine if AISS is already installed; but if it is not installed, the user manually has to assign "TBImages:" and add the auto assign to WBStartUp.

Anyway, thanks for the hint! A new version is up now and soon on OS4Depot.

If OWB was running before the update it's because of a bug in OWB which will be fixed in the next version, it didn't dispose the images. But that doesn't help if there are program using the images running while the update is done, both datatypes.library and the image cache in intuition Open() or Lock() the files, the intuition image cache uses the lock to check if an image is in the cache already or has to be loaded from disk. One way around the problem would be for example to rename CLASSES:ToolbarImages/Default to CLASSES:ToolbarImages/Default-old and install the new images in CLASSES:ToolbarImages/Default in the AutoInstall script, and in the AISS WBStartup script add `IF EXISTS CLASSES:ToolbarImages/Default-old Delete ALL QUIET CLASSES:ToolbarImages/Default-old ENDIF` And remove the SETENV SAVE from the WBStartup script, instead of writing the same thing to to the SYS: partition on each reboot it should be set by the AutoUpdate and install scripts.

I wrote a Python installer to solve a lot problems, but coming-up a nice graphics progression load diagram is impossible. Python has no callable grapics like TKINT for example. Mine uses percent print output.
