This happens because even a software giant like Microsoft often buys an installation engine from another third party vendor (rather than using the free one that Apple offers for whatever foolish reason), and most of those vendors are small and have limited resources to keep their products up to date. My job in an earlier part of my life at Apple was, in part, to try to work with those tool vendors and keep them up to snuff ... and I don't want to even begin to tell you how miserable *that* experience was in several cases. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
