Homemade Install scripts fail :(

In order to do anything useful, I would agree. However, I would think it should still display text

 

What editor are you using? If you're writing the script in Windows (particularly Notepad), make sure the updater-script has no file extension. Windows likes to append a default extension to files and that's my guess on what's wrong here

 

I had this same issue when I was testing my OTA Verifier app.

If it is the same issue, it's most likely because you have a carriage-return and linefeed at the end of each line. The updater-binary will not like that.

You need to make sure you've only got newlines (linefeeds) at the end of each line.

If you have Unix / Linux, it's trivial to use tr or sed, etc. to remove them (the carriage returns):

Linux Commando: Delete Windows/DOS carriage return characters from text files

If you are on Windows, the easiest way might be to find a DOS version of the tr utility (lots out there) and then use this command format to remove the carriage returns:

Code (Text):

1. [B]tr -d '\r' < input.txt > output.txt[/B]

Hope that helps.

Cheers!
