Installing Classic on Tiger

I'm trying to install the Classic environment v9.1 I downloaded form Apple's site, but i'm getting this error:





I have never installed this before, so this is all new to me. So how do I go about doing so? Thanks

I don't think that OS 9 is a free download...you may have downloaded an OS 9 update.

Also...OS 9 "Classic" cannot be installed on all Mac's. Need to know what Mac you are trying to install it on (are we talking the 15" MBP in your profile)?

p.s. Update...OS 9 is not supported on your 15" MBP if that's the computer you're trying to install OS 9 (Classic) on. OS 10.4 "Tiger" is not supported on that computer either.

Here's how to install an OS9 system folder.

Yea i'm trying to install classic on my PowerMac G5, which classic should work on since it's a powerPC. So I guess i need to get OS9, not the 9.1 update then?

Yes spot on. Look for a retail version of OS 9.2, if possible, and then update to 9.2.2. Downloading an update will never install.

Also when you formatted the drive and installed Tiger, it was necessary you ticked the box to install OS 9 drivers otherwise no joy and a clean install of both operating systems may be necessary.
