Actually it is in the setup. I open the application and the setup window opens. When I click on continue, I just get the spinning pizza until I force quit the application. I've repaired permissions but that doesn't affect it. Remembering that with Panther I had to reinstall another application while logged in as "root" to fix a problem, I tried it and the app worked fine in root but when I logged into my account, I still get the same problem. I only have the two accounts. FP iMac, 10.3.2, 512MB RAM. Any ideas?
The app is AOL Communicator; I created a "test" account and it worked there ok. I also copied the preference file from the test account to the main account but that didn't help. (both accounts are administrator accounts)
My options seem to be to give up on using it or to log on to the test account just to run this one app. Another reason that Apple needs to fix OS 10 so we don't have these asinine permissions problems. I'm the only, and always will be, user of my computer and I should NOT have to put up with this crap.
People have suggested running it from the dmg and doing the setup there BEFORE I copy it to my hard drive. I tried that, but it didn't work, possibly because I'd already tried running it in the main account.
