I tried the install script, which didn't have a default tool, so it only initially opened the Multiview option of viewing what was in the file. So, I made the default tool the "Installer" but when the installer ran, the files were only copied to sys:, not into the specfiic drawers/folders where the files were required, so I still ended up copying them manually.
It's a normal dos script, not a script for the Installer program!
On my PowerBook it worked directly from opened archive!
I double-clicked on the archive then double-clicked on the "Install" file.
Strange, that it didn't worked for you.
Sounds like it had lost the S protection bit at some point when NewSense has been installing it. If that's missing it won't run the script because the icon is a tool icon. Maybe the archive was unpacked on some alien system, or to some alien filesystem, or maybe some unpacker doesn't preserve these (which one?).
It would be better as a project icon and the Default Tool set to "IconX" (not "Installer" in any case). Then it wouldn't affect if the S bit would be missing.
In any case, worked fine here when I unpacked it to ram: and ran it from there.
