Hi!

I downloaded some .qpr-Files and I wanted to install them with the installer
program

If I launch the installer the packages does not apper in the window. I also
tried to install them
by doubleclick which also didn´t work.

I installed some programs from the “3rd Party Software Collection CD”, there
I had no problem.

What I have to do???

Thanks

Alex,
I had alot of trouble with this too. From the command line pass the name of the
file to the installer via the u option i.e. if the file is at
/home/alex/something.qpr

pkg-installer -u file://home/alex/something.qpr

Yes, Neutrino 6.2.0 (Momentics)

Why?

If the QPR does not properly appear in the installer, try wiping out the
sources/ directory:

rm /etc/system/package/sources/*

These files keep track of the previous repositories you have opened. There
is a bug (which is fixed in 6.2.1) which caused repositories to sometimes
not open properly if a conflicting file is found in that sources/ directory.
After wiping the directory, restart the installer, then type in the location
of the QPR in the repository combo-box field.

If you’re using QNX 6.2.0, the easiest way to do it is to right-click the
…qpr file, click Open with and write qnxinstall in the box that will be
displayed. Then the installer will open and all you have to do is select the
package and click Install. Good luck.
