Re: The application program "xxx" could not be opened, because an error of type -192 occurred.
As per appleerrorcodes.com:
Error -192:
resNotFound
Resource not found
Did you copy the application over a non-HFS disk partition? Because you've lost your resource fork data.
This can also happen if you're attempting to run an application directly from the shared host drive instead of from a disk image.

Sorry I forgot to say that I am using Mini vMac (36.04).adespoton wrote: ↑Tue Aug 31, 2021 5:49 pm As per appleerrorcodes.com:

I have imported the file only with importFl https://www.gryphel.com/c/minivmac/extras/importfl/. When I saw the file on the desktop, I extracted it and installed the software. After installing this software, I restarted the system and clicked on the icon on the desktop. Then came the error message.
Here is the software https://www.macintoshrepository.org/dow ... p?id=37932, maybe it is not compatible with System 7.5? I do not know how to find out from which version is compatible with which operating system version, do you know how I can find out?

If you read the documentation for ImportFl, you'll see that it states it can't copy resource forks. You'll need to copy a Stuffit archive and extract it within the emulator.becreatim wrote: ↑Tue Aug 31, 2021 7:41 pmSorry I forgot to say that I am using Mini vMac (36.04).adespoton wrote: ↑Tue Aug 31, 2021 5:49 pm As per appleerrorcodes.com:

Re: The application program "xxx" could not be opened, because an error of type -192 occurred.
That's what I did, I imported the xxx.hqx file with ImportFl and then in the emulator I extracted and installed it. Then after the installation, run the software and I get the error message on System 7.5.If you read the documentation for ImportFl, you'll see that it states it can't copy resource forks.

It seems the -192 error occurs when you try to run a ppc program on a 68k processor.

Thanks for the suggestion and then checked with NativeChecker http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/nativechecker if the extracted software is only a PowerPC application and yes it is only a PowerPC application. That means it is really true that the error message appears when running a PowerPC application on 68k processor.Cat_7 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 02, 2021 1:44 pm It seems the -192 error occurs when you try to run a ppc program on a 68k processor.

I'm glad this is written down here now too... because first time around I was going to respond with that comment (I was running 68k Macs through to 1999 and ran into the error regularly), but did a lookup prior to commenting and saw it was a resource not found error and figured I misremembered. But now I remember: the resource in question isn't a missing resource fork... it's the missing 68k Code resource. It was possible to compile apps with a stub that returned a more informative message on 68k systems, but anyone who could be bothered doing that would just include the 68k target in the build, so it was rarely used.becreatim wrote: ↑Thu Sep 02, 2021 7:32 pmThanks for the suggestion and then checked with NativeChecker http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/nativechecker if the extracted software is only a PowerPC application and yes it is only a PowerPC application.

The software can be run only on PowerPC processor. The .hqx file can be extracted on 68k and PowerPC processor."
