Witango Studio 5.5 runs on my Intel MacBook Pro (that is, it starts
up with no problem) ***but**** cannot make any JDBC connections, due
to an issue with Rosetta and Java. That is, a "mixed" environment of
Intel Java and Rosetta application is not a happy one.
If you don't need JDBC, try installing the studio on another computer
and then just drag copying the files over to your intel mini, in case
there's something wrong vis a vis the installer (though I've had NO
problems with that, myself). Make sure you replace EVERYTHING
(preferences, etc).
Also check with something like PathFinder that your application has
the following attributes (you cannot do this in Apple's Finder get info)
Type: APPL
Creator: t3ed
What I have been doing as a work-around for the JDBC issue while I
wait for the Universal version (which I am sure Witango is working
away on) is to run the Windows version of the Studio via Parallels on
my MacBook Pro. In that case, for testing, I also need to run the
Windows server as well, as Witango server doesn't work, either under
Rosetta - at least, not with Apache.
Note, the above solution will work only if you have an intel mini.

Dan thanks for your help
Update:
I opened info Studio to look for the Rosetta checkbox, but it
wasn't there.
I found out from Mac help the checkbox only shows up if the program
is in
Universal code. Help said if the program is in PowerPC code it will
open in
Rosetta automatically. I then loaded Studio on to an older PowerPC
unit and
the program can right up. Then I used Migration Assistant to move the
program from the PowerPC to the mini with firewire. Is move over
OK, but
Studio would not startup. I asked around the school district (last
count I
saw we have over 18,000 Apple) to see if anyone else has had this
problem. I
was told that we have tried some of the new mini and had the same
problem.
Some programs open right up others will not. Apple's answer was to
contact
the manufacture of the software and have then rebuild the code so
it will
open with the new minis. Not seeing any new code for a long time from
Witango I guess I'm just SOL on using Witango on my new mini.
Thanks again for help

find a checkbox. It will be slow but might still work.

Conversation: Reinstalling Witango Studio 5.5
Subject: Witango-Talk: Reinstalling Witango Studio 5.5
Hi All
I have a new Mac mini. I've been loading my programs on this unit
and all
was going good unstill a loaded Witango Studio 5.5. The install
went good,
but when I tried to start the Studio a program called Script
Editor opened.
This program opens every time I try to start Studio. I've removed
everything
with Witango in the title from the mini and reloaded Studio and
the same
thing happened again. Any ideas?
