Subject: Getting sharutils : a problem with setup?
Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2001 08:26:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <000701c170cf$b3c296e0$6fc82486@medschool.dundee.ac.uk> (raw)
Since noticing your announcement about "new : sharutils" I've paid a few
visits to [more than one] download site, but after rotating through View,
still get "nothing to install/update". I've looked at setup.ini, which
mentions it, correctly addressed, in a line beginning install:. I've looked
at the provision on the download site[s], and there it is in
latest/sharutils/. I've checked my local /etc/setup/installed.db file, which
contains no mention of it [correctly, because I haven't got it].
If I'm mis-managing setup.exe, please can you tell me where I am failing:
but it looks to me at the moment as though "upgrades" are handled well by
the setup.exe/.ini duet along with a user's installed.db, but maybe not
"new" installations?
Thank you.
Fergus
