WPS-Wizard Installation Fails in ArcaOS

(1/3) > >>

Martin Iturbide:
Hello

1st: This is an experiment on a VM. I'm not suggesting you to install WPS-Wizard on your machine, since WPS-Wizard is has it's issues. I don't recommend to try WPS-Wizard on a functional/important/Production OS/2 machine.

Now to my issue. I tried to install WPS-Wizard on my testing ArcaOS 5.1 VM, but the install.cmd script gives me errors while trying to register the classes.


--- Quote ---Current directory is C:\programs\wps-wizard

Registering class CWWizzSettings...
Registering class CWMenuFolder...
Registering class CWLaunchArea...
Registering class CWObject...

Error while registering class CWObject
Deregistering class CWWizzSettings
Deregistering class CWLaunchArea
Deregistering class CWMenuFolder
Exiting...


 An error occured. WPS-Wizard is not installed properly.

Use a tool like checkini to check/repair your INI files.

Press <ENTER> to quit.

I'm using this version: WPS-Wizard_0-6-1a3_en.zip

I already tried CleanINI and clean the stuff on WPS, but I got the same results.
Is there a way to install it on ArcaOS?

Regards.

Hi Martin,

  Can't help you get it installed, but can confirm the same issue here when trying to install it on AOS 5.1. Also tried the last official release (6.0) and it too has the same problem here. I always liked WPS Wizard - a shame it no longer can be installed...

Regards,

Maybe something else, styler? interfering.

Did you read the readme.1st file ?

The readme says it requires Cairo and Innotek Font Engine (Freetype 2). I think I have both installed by default on ArcaOS, but I'm not sure if those are the right versions.

Just in case I tried installing the "Innotek Font Engine", rebooted and got the same install error.

Regards
