| 2786.3 | hubwatch fails CRC check... | KAOFS::R_YURKIW | reward those who bring bad news!! | Mon Sep 25 1995 12:38 | 37 |
| Ed.
I tried to load the files from NAC::NIPG:[HWWINV41] but had a bit of a
problem.
I used SPOOL COPY to copy the three disk*.exe files to my directory
and then I used kermit to load them on my pc. I made sure that the
files were loaded as binary files during the download.
All the files explode properly.
I go to install the software and the following happens.
Disk 1 is inserted and install in run. I choose to install
hubwatch/hubloader and netrider (no network). The first disk is
installed with no problem.
I am prompted to insert the second disk and shortly after it continues
(as soon as the HUBWATCH.EXE file is 100% installed) I get an error
message saying "HUBWATCH FAILS CRC CHECK". At this point the
installation basically dies as I get continuous file extract errors and
I am forced to abort.
I tried downloading all the files twice and I tried to install it from
both floppy and from my hard disk with the same result.
Can you please check and verify that the installation is set up
properly and if so do you have any suggestions on what I may be doing
wrong??
thanks.

| 2786.4 | try a new floppy | EDWIN::TOMG::gulick | Those dirty rings !! | Mon Sep 25 1995 14:04 | 10 |
| I had the same problem with Disk 2.
Do a CHKDSK on your floppy to see that you have no bad blocks
or sectors because Disk 2 takes ALL 1.44 M so if you have any
bad blocks, you're SOL.
Best option is to try a newly formatted disk.

I ran both chkdsk and scandisk on the floppy with no errors. I tried to
use a new floppy just in case and the result was the same. I also did
try to run it direclty from a directory on my hard disk (ie: no
floppies at all) and the error message occurred in exactly the same
place.
I think there may be something wrong with the files as they currently
sit on the system.
As far as disk 2 taking all the available space either that statement
is wrong or it may be a key to the problem. When I explode the DISK2.EXE
file it produces two files:
DISK.ID 45
HUBV411.002 1223385
according to the file size shown I should have plenty of room left on
the floppy.
Thanks for trying...by the way you did not say you were eventually
successful with the installation. Were you??

| 2786.6 | Success..... | KAOFS::R_YURKIW | reward those who bring bad news!! | Mon Sep 25 1995 16:19 | 26 |
| Got it.
I did some digging and found that in fact the exploded file HUBV411.002
for disk #2 is about 200k bytes short.
I went to BHUB and with help finally managed to copy the file off of
the unix server.
The correct size of this file should be 1457152 bytes.
I replaced the file on my Disk #2 and the installation went off without
any problems.
I suggest that someone recheck the DISK2.EXE in
NAC::NIPG:[MANAGE.HWWINV41] and recompile it to make sure the correctly
sized file is in there. I believe that as of right now it is wrong.....

| Somehow my disk2 got changed after I made my own masters and installed
the kit on my PC. I just remade all 3 disks, exploded them, put them on
diskettes, and installed again. It worked OK, so it looks like the
kit is good.
Sorry for all the trouble.

| 2786.9 | kit broken still on bhub | IROCZ::PASQUALE | | Wed Oct 25 1995 15:26 | 11 |
|
I recently built a kit from the hubw_pc directory on node bhub.
Disk2 or disk3.exe contains a broken file (bad checksum) on
dllasync.exe. Did you fix the files on Bhub or just
nac::nipg:[nwwinv41]. And while we're at it, would it be too much
trouble to locate the kits in the same place?
regards,
Ray.
