Re: WP 8 CD Install and Slink
I still get this:
./install.wp: line 11: 4979 Segmentation fault $Platform/ins/wpinstg
color grey >/dev/null 2>/dev/null
./install.wp: line 13: 4980 Segmentation fault $Platform/ins/$Exec
$Menu $Values $bgcolor
Warning: The graphical install program has failed.
Then it'll run the command line install program and will copy the files
fine. But when I go to run wp8 I get "segmentation fault".
Thanks for your help, Rick. Does anyone out there know what's wrong?
Thanks,
Craig
