Error -192

[Nermal]

I've just installed a music-writing app (Finale NotePad 2001) on my brother's old Mac. But when I try to run it, I get the message:

The application program "Finale NotePad" could not be opened, because an error of type -192 occurred.

What does this error mean? Not enough memory? Hard drive's full? I need to stand up and rotate 3 times before it will work? And why can't these errors be descriptive?

Update: I just rebooted and rebuilt the desktop (because the app had a generic icon). The icon is the correct one now but it still gives me an error -192. But what's really intriguing is that the system-wide menu bar now looks like OS 8 (I'm running 7.6.1). I noticed that the Finale installer copied over a file called "Appearance" which must have something to do with it. So I tried opening the Appearance control panel, and got another error -192. What's going on here?

Update 2: I did a Get Info on the Appearance control panel, and it says that it's from Mac OS 8.5! I also found that the Appearance Extension has been updated, it's from Appearance SDK 1.0.3.

Nermal,

Since ubergeek was kind enough to post the link (but too lazy to click one time to look up the answer ), I looked it up for you.

Error -192:
resNotFound
Resource not found

Your welcome.

Naturally, "resource not found" isn't much more help than "error -192"

If I had to guess, I'd say that maybe Finale needs OS 8.5, since it installed an 8.5 control panel. I couldn't find system requirements anywhere so I just downloaded the oldest version and tried it.

I'd say you're right. If it installed something from OS 8.5, I would say that OS is the minimum that the program would run on.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Is this a 68K mac? I recall I used to get an error that I think was -192 on my old Quadra when I tried to run PPC only applications. If you have ResEdit on that computer, open the applicaton in it and see if there is a CODE resource. If there is, check the sizes of each of these resources. If there are no CODE resources, or the sizes total less than a couple of KB, it will be a PPC only application.

I'm not even going to bother turning the machine on the check, I'll just guess:

- app installed a control panel from 8.5
- i'm assuming that the app therefore needs 8.5
- 8.5 needs a PPC
- therefore the app needs a PPC
- i'm trying to run it on a 68030

I couldn't find any system requirements for that version the app, but I've found a low-end PPC that meets all the requirements for the latest version. It's being auctioned on TM and it's been sitting at $22 for the last couple of days. I might end up getting it
