    Is there any chance to run Storm C on Morphos? I was trying the installer from Amiga Developer CD and I'm getting the message, "couldn't start the program"?
    Any ideas?

    Copy the Drawer to Ram Disk:
    Right click information on the Install-Icon.
    Change the Default-Tool "C/Installer" to Installer.
    Now you can install it.
    I have tested it and StormC is working.

    The MorphOS Installer has a work-around for such CDs with fixed path on it.

    Simply start the installer by using the icon in tools drawer. It will ask for a script. Now use the file selection to point onto the installer script on CD.

    After confirming it should install from CD directly, if there arenĀ“t any other issues.

    Thanks a lot. I have tried using the installer, as advised by geist, but at one point I have encoutred a problem and could not proceed any further, The trick with copying to Ram Disk worked fine:)

    Maybe download Installer 43.3 from Aminet and try with that instead of MOS installer...

    That would not change anything, because it is only a wrong path in the default tool, causing the problem.

    Great tip! I am glad such old school software works with MOS, unlike OS4
