I’m trying to add some 3rd party apps from the CD. The installer reads the
CD and displays all the packages, when I check the one I want, the Install
button doesn’t get enabled so I can’t do anything?
Any Ideas?
It works with the old installer.

Paul, can you check your system clock? If the packages appear to be released
on a date which is ‘in the future’, then they cannot be installed on your
system. Let me know either way.

Was this done to prevent the complete breakdown of the space/time continuem?

Yes, what do you think the ‘Q’ in QSSL stands for? It’s the Q-continuum.
Just for reference, the installer will show packages with release dates in
the future as ‘Unreleased’ in the next release of qnxinstall, so that it
doesn’t seem to “just not work” as was demonstrated by this thread.

So, if once at wonderful evening I get just flaming new package from my friend, says from NZ or
Japan, I will have to wait few hours when release date will correct for my country, right? (I
haven’t seen “ManufacturerTZ” tag yet)

Yes, and that is the intended result. Think about how someone like Sony does
it–if they are releasing a brand new game for the Playstation 2, they tell
customers that their game will be released on August 1, 2002, regardless of
the customer’s time zone. That’s the same mechanism here–someone creating a
new package can put a release date set to 2002/08/01. That way, it’s ensured
that the installer will not allow that package to be installed until that
date; it’s okay to distribute the QPR, but it will not be installed.
Please don’t start a big issue about this–I’m just explaining the observed
behaviour.

Yes the time is the problem. I set it correctly and everything seems fine.
Sorry for the delay as I was off yesterday.
Thanks
