Hello NeXT Community: I've installed Openstep 4.2 User, upgraded version NeXTSTEP 3.3 using the upgrader.app bundled on the 4.2 iso or cd. I then installed Openstep 4.2 Developer and yes NeXTSTEP 3.3 Developer was installed with Y2k patches. Nothing else is installed.
Openstep 4.2 Developer packages installed Dev Tools first , libraries 2nd , profiles 3rd and last is Openstep Docs towards the end , it says errors while installing and refers to a directory on the cd that indeed is not a folder or doc but a nib file which crashes the install . I tried an original cd and then a downloaded backup same error. Has anyone else had this happen? Anyone be able to verify it?
Caution:
Also I would like to note that some older NeXT cd's may be becoming brittle with age as all I was doing was removing an openstep 4.2 user cd from its original factory logo embossed holder and it broke I wasn't being forceful and have done this thousands of times. It just snapped which is very unusual take caution and make master backups. I also would like to note that the factory cd was very thin.
