I have downloaded the PM 6 .dmg installer twice directly to my desktop, then opened the disk image and tried to copy it from there to the applications folder. I also tried copying to my desktop, and tried copying the PM folder at the top level of the disk image. I get the error message whatever I try. The application does copy, but I lose the custom icon and it won't open.
I can try to open PM 6 from the installer disk image, but it stops with a message that it needs to run from a writable disk. I recently replaced my hard drive and have since done a complete system reinstall. I'll try repairing permissions. Thanks for any other ideas. - Winston PowerMail Engineering wrote: >Winston, > >>Can I run PowerMail 6 on a 1.5 GHz G4 PowerBook with Mac OS 10.4.11? > >Yes > >>I paid for PM 6, but can't get it to install.
