MUI installation leads to forceful unwanted ASL patching
Quite a regular

See User information
I ran AmiUpdate just to make sure everything was upto date. One of the things was MUI which required a manual install. So there was a directory in RAM: named Unpacked. So, I just installed it using the "Install" script in there.

Problem is, all my file requesters etc are using this MUI versus whatever it was using before and I want it how it looked before.

Does anyone know what to do?

Regards.

This looks suspicious and it is at the end of my UserStartup:
;BEGIN MUI ASL
if exists "Workbench:MUI"
   
run <>nilMUI:PatchASL
endif
;
END MUI ASL


Before, this was not in my user-startup.

And, before - at the beginning of my US:
;BEGIN MUI 
If EXISTS SYS
:MUI 
  C
:Assign >NIL:     MUI:    SYS:MUI 
  C
:Assign >NIL: ADD LIBS:   MUI:Libs 
  C
:Assign >NIL: ADD LOCALE: MUI:Locale 
  C
:Assign >NIL: ADD HELP:   MUI:Docs 
EndIf 
;
END MUI

But, now it is:
;BEGIN MUI
if exists "Workbench:MUI"
   
assign MUI"Workbench:MUI"
   
if exists MUI:Libs
      assign add LIBS
MUI:Libs
   
endif
   if 
exists MUI:Locale
      assign add LOCALE
MUI:Locale
   
endif
   
version >nilexec.library 39
   
if not warn
      
if exists MUI:Docs
         
if exists HELP:dummy ; do not remove
         
endif                ; this entry!
         
assign add HELPMUI:Docs
      
endif
   endif
endif
;
END MUI


Just wondering what to do.

Without having been there yet myself, I'd say you should remove, or comment out, the ";BEGIN MUI ASL" to ";END MUI ASL" section in UserStartup so you don't get the PatchASL program run.

Okay, I have just commented out the ASL patch and now it is okay.

This has been covered before

...and you can leave what MUI added to the user-startup, that's how the latest MUI roll, got it in my user-startup aswell for quite some revisions now

BTW, I don't think AmiUpdate has anything to do with this, so why refer to it in the subject?

Best regards,

Its all down to the installer, in that if you set it to 'Beginner' then you do not get asked if you want to replace the ASL requester with the MUI one. Set it to anything else and you have the choice.

What I always hated about MUI is the arrogance of its developers in assuming if we installed MUI it meant we wanted all MUI all the time in as many places as possible. While it was always an impressive piece of software it was also massively over-engineered for what it actually needed to be and why ClassAct was the better implementation. Shame it came much later on by which time MUI was a mandatory dependency to be able to use some of the best apps of the time.
