Diane, you say that like it's a bad thing! :)
I changed the splash screen PICT with ResEdit, and when the installer quit
with an error referencing a certain PICT # in Word, I knew exactly what it
was. Just replacing the app worked fine. Thanks to MBU for making
installation a 4 second, drag and drop process.
No more Danger Girl when I launch Word, I guess. *sigh*
I agree that the installer should probably reject updating the app if any
resources are changed. Most users don't 'monkey' with their apps in ResEdit,
and the ones that do should know how to fix it. But the filename issue
merits at least a note in the ReadMe before the install, I think.
