Subject:	SCOUG-Help: A mess, after attempted install of WarpIN 1.0.10

Content Type: text/plain

I thought installing this update might fix the
"version" problem I mentioned here recently. Silly
me.

Now, instead of a probable 1.0.9 that reports itself
as v. 1.0.8, I get a "presence" in the e-center, but
nothing opens on the desktop. So, no WarpIn at all
now. Yeah, that's an improvement . . . . Curiously
enough, the new WicPM from the same package looks to
be working.

But wait, there's more ! I look in the root of eCS
1.2 and I see two oddities. There is an extensive
wpitrap.log from 10/05 in there that I never noticed
before. It says the log should be sent to the author,
but does not mention where, so I need to look up an
email address for Paul Ratcliffe, I guess. I would
attach it here, but it runs to 18K.

It also turns out that OS2BOOT, OS2DUMP, and OS2KRNL
are showing as unprotected, with no attributes, while
IBMLVL.INI and OS2LOGO are showing as -r-a-s-h.
Shouldn't *the opposite* scenario be true ?

Here is the tail end of the install log from the
attempt to put 1.0.10 on:

--------------------------------------------
11:04:57.71 2 packages to install, 1,373,366
uncompressed bytes total
11:04:57.71 Unpacking files in package "OS/2
Netlabs\WarpIN\Base\1\0\10"...
11:04:57.71 Target path: "E:\ECS\INSTALL\WARPIN"
11:04:57.71 Uncompressed bytes: 846,053
11:04:57.72 Unpacking "warpin.exe" (72,959 ->
81,013 bytes)
11:04:57.72 overwriting existing
11:04:57.72 file is locked

Install log closed.
--------------------------------------------

In the past, new versions installed right over the
prior version -- for me, with no apparent problem, at
least up until 1.0.9.

I would just uninstall the whole thing, and maybe try
it again, but in the absence of being able to bring up
the program, I don't see any clear mechanism for doing
so, apart from zapping the directory contents and
removing any system .INI key with UniMaint.
