No Classic with international OS 9

[iconara]

I installed OS X yesterday and everything is fine exept for Classic.
It will not launch since:

"There are no localized Classic-specific resources to update the system folder on Frank [my main partition]. Please select entother startup disk."

Now, then. What could be the problem? I'm not sure, but here's one possibility:

When opening the inspector (you know, old "Get info") for the Classic app there is, under "application" (I belive) a list of "localized resources". Aha! These are languages. Aha! And my OS 9 is the swedish version. And swedish is not on the list. Thus I conclude: Classic will not run any OS 9 - only English, German, French and Spanish (I belive those were the languages in localized resources). I cannot confirm this, but it seems plausible.

You are right, but there is a work-around. I had the same problem, but am now writing this in OS X / Netscape with "Swedish" Classic. While I cannot say it will always work, do this to update the swedish System 9.0.4 to Classic:

1. Login as root

2. Locate the Classic app. It is located at:
harddisk/Applications/Classic

3. Make a backup copy of Classic, but work on original

4. Show the Package Contents by ctrl-clicking the Classic

5. Go to Contents/Resources/

6. Option-drag English.lproj to make a copy

7. Rename the copy to Swedish.lproj

8. Close the package browsing window

9. Open a Terminal window and do:
cd /Applications/Classic.app/Contents/Resources/
ls -l TruBlueEnvironment

10. Change the privileges of this file:
chmod a+s TruBlueEnvironment

11. Close Terminal and Double-click Classic. Now the "normal" installation of the extra files will begin and Classic be launched. Probably you have to read some english afterwards, but I have found no trouble with installing the english resources onto my swedish system.

Strange...my Dutch OS 9 works without any problem with Mac OS X.

The work-around should not be needed for Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, or Spanish systems.

Except that I'm not allowed to chmod TruBlueEnvironment (which seems to have no effect on the final result), it works fine on Danish system too (9.0.4 on G4) - having of course changed Swedish.lproj to Danish.lproj.

Thanks for helping!

When I made a Swedish version of the file Os9 started but apps are just started in the Doc (The Icon apears) but I can nut use the application. It is the same with al apps.

Please explain the operations needed in teh terminal window, wich I could not get to work, ?

I dont know how to change the privilegies in the privilegies window, as of /Andreas, Ibrium:s explanation above.

[ #10 : 10. Change the privileges of this file:
chmod a+s TruBlueEnvironment]

Anyone that can assist?
