July 25, 2002 HUGS people: I would greatly appreciate your help in getting HUGS installed properly very soon. BACKGROUND: 1) My system: Pentium PC with WIN NT 4 -- plenty of disk space and RAM. [ After I get this right, I will have to do the same in another PC elsewhere with Windows 95. ] 2) My background -- Experienced programmer. I have also installed all kinds of software in the past. 3) I am installing everything in D:\HUGS98. Curreently, I have in it the following: hugs98-Dec2001.msi; hugs98-Dec2001.zip; GraphicsLib.msi; SOE.msi; win32exes.zip ------------------------------------------------------- 4) I try to do the setup by double-clicking on hugs98-Dec2001.msi. The Setup process starts off as expected.t After the first few steps, I get the message: "The Installer was interrupted before Hugs98 � December 2001 could be installed. You need to restart the installer to try again." I have tried this a few trimes, The same problem. NO CLUE TO WHAT IS MISSING OR WRONG> WHY IS THIS OCCURRING ? HOW CAN I GET AROUND IT ? The setup must be the key step. ================================= 5) If I try to run hugs.exe or winhugs.exe, it comes up with the expected Hugs Screen, with an Error Message: " Prelude not found on current path: "{Hugs}\lib;{Hugs\lib\hugs; {Hugs\lib\exts; ;{Hugs\lib\win32 FATAL ERROR: Unable to load prelude This tells me that a successful setup would have installed the lib and subdirectories in the paths above, and the executable it would have found the prelude. Is the Setup process looking for something in some default location ? This happens in some kinds of software. Could you please tell me soon what I need to do to get the setup to go through correctly ? [ Also, Could you please explain: WHAT IS the "Prelude" ? ] I am keen on getting working on Haskell, using Hugs, I would greatly appreciate your reply as soon as possible. Thank you. K.
