Failure to install Win4Lin Pro.

English Applications
#1

My OS11.4 KDE 64 bit
I’m trying to install Win4LinPro and I get this error message.

“An internal system error has occurred.
A problem that we were not expecting has occurred.
Please report this bug with the error description.
Details:
[PK_TMP_DIR|dir:///var/tmp/TmpDir.vZjMM9]
Repository already exists”.

When I click OK the install shuts down.

I don’t know what to do.

Thanks,
Ron

close yast (if not already done).
open a terminal and type


su -
zypper rr PK_TMP_DIR

this removes the temporary repository which is a leftover from something and
was not removed automatically
after that finishes try your install again.

that the software to solve all problems is to be released real soon now
is a corner stone of the marketing strategy of most things with “Win” in
its name…

its first big splash was a midnight in 1995, when the answer to all the
computer user prayers was released as Win95…

did you overlook the :wink:

Well, actually I did see that. But I simply didn’t get the sarcasm, I guess I needed to stand up as it went over my head. ;).
Thanks for the answer.
