  • 8 │ Auto-install New External Programs

    From Plt@1:103/705 to All on Tuesday, March 10, 2026 16:00:58
    Hello

    I install Tradewars using 8 │ Auto-install New External Programs and I have to remove it. When I run 8 │ Auto-install New External Programs again the program is no longer available. Is there a way to fix it please?

    Thanks
    Phil

    Hello

    I install Tradewars using 8 ³ Auto-install New External Programs and I have to remove it. When I run 8 ³ Auto-install New External Programs again the program is no longer available. Is there a way to fix it please?

    The number "8" in that context is a dynamic menu option - it's not going to be the same for everyone else as it is for you and your BBS.

    Anyway, if your configuration (i.e. SCFG->External Programs->Online Programs) does not contain a program with an internal code of "TW2", then the auto-installation script will provide you with the "Trade Wars 2 - 500 Sectors" option again. Double-check your configuration for another "TW2" program and either change the internal code or remove it.
