Thanks again,

I think this is all moot now, as the way I (and most people) would do it, in the absence of clear documentation (i.e. vanilla, followed by all service packs in order, then parch tool), with update 3 being avail, will now work and get the install complete and a good base.

But no ...

Thanks..

Indeed... you were not clear...
And I have NEVER heard or experienced a system where you would do it that way..
Its ALWAYS... Install base and then any official service packs and then "normal patching"..

Are you saying that AmiUpdate would cover all issues addressed in the service packs ...

But the point I wanted to make was that if you install the working version 2.58 of AmiUpdate before trying to use it to install anything else, things should go much smoother.



But thats exactly what I did!!!!
Installed Vanilla... Installed update 1,2,hotfix 2
Then AmiUpdate 2.58 (along with the ...

If you had installed AmiUpdate first, before installing Update 3, the problem wouldn't have occurred.

What!!!?? Your reading comprehension is not great (may be you are excused as with your Name, may be English is not your first language).
PLEASE reread what I said ...

Thanks,

But you are mistaken when you say
"And it's not Update 3 itself which solved the issue, but AmiUpdate 2.58. Because it was known that this version had solved the previous Catch-22-like issues, it was decided to include it (still as a contribution) in the Update 3 archive." in the other ...

Thanks,

That should never be allowed to happen.
I dont know how sophisticated AmiUpdate is..i.e. how good it is at handling dependencies, but there is no way a patch should be put on the servers that cannot be actioned by the update process. If it needs a new AmiUpdate version, then that should be ...

Thanks guys...
You missed the point of the post..
I should never have been able to get into the catch 22 situation..
SO while its great that Patch 3 does indeed perform all the catch up needed... they need make sure we dont get in this situation again.

LOL, May be Hyperion heard me, just seen that update 3 was released yesterday!!!
May be that will resolve.. by going to update 3, it may in effect jump start everything to "catch up" and all be OK.
Dont plan to do a fresh install again to test... but fingers crossed.

I posted an issue with updating my old OS4.1RE install here
https://forum.hyperion-entertainment.com/viewtopic.php?t=5148

So I know it not great, but to compound the importance of a proper fix, I wanted to do a fresh install of AmigaOS4.1FE
My expectation was that I should be able to do the install ...
