Origami / finstall, 32-bit, FAILURE - solution

[lord_emperor]

I've been bashing my head against thei for the better part of an hour.

Scanario:

32-bit ubuntu desktop with some kind of dual core CPU.
Installing the "supported" way in Ubuntu, through origami or finstall.

Error:

$ sudo origami install -t 33 -u Lord_Emperor -k ********** -b big -p i386
INSTALLING... PLEASE BE PATIENT
ERROR: STARTUP SCRIPT FAILED TO START!

$ sudo origami start
starting origami...

Solution:

Origami / finstall downloaded and installed 64-bit binaries in spite of 32-bit OS and manually specifying i386 on the install command . Manually downloading and replacing fah6 and msiexec resolved the issue.

Google searches were basically useless for this error, as it is the same output as any number of 64-bit users who require an unlisted dependency, so I wanted to get this somewhere and maybe help someone else (and vent some frustration).

I, when I was running linux, just downloaded the exe and ran it in the home folder.

Seemed easier than going through all of the finstall stuff and I knew the exe was the correct one.

When I was running it on my 32 bit linux box, I had a similar issue. Like Kendrak, I just downloaded the exe and ran it. The problem was that 6.29 and later will only work on 64 bit systems. When I tried 6.23 (hopefully I am remembering the right version #s), it worked perfectly. Before this thread, I didn't even know about the origami/finstall method.
