2 persistent permissions errors on logon.

[caw35slr]

My environment:

 

 

 

Max OSX 10.4.1

 

Retrospect Express 5.0.238

 

Backup device: Maxtor OneTouch Firewire

 

 

 

I installed Retrospect from the Maxtor Install CD. 5.0.238 is the latest version according to dantz.com.

 

 

 

 

 

Problem 1: persistent permissions warning on log-in.

 

 

 

When any user on my machine logs on they receive two error messages suggesting permikssion problems with:

 

 

 

/library/StartUpItems

 

/library/StartUpItems/RetroRun

 

 

 

Despite choosing "Fix" (which necessitates a reboot) the erroro recurs. Very annoying!

 

 

 

 

 

What I've tried: I tried using the Uninstaller to remove and re-install Retrospect, but both errors persist. So I uninstalled again then, using the list of files in KB article 5694 "Files installed by Retrospect" I manually removed everything else that I could. I rebooted (out of superstition, more than anything else) and reinstalled Retrospect. Same thing.

 

 

 

Cheers,

Hi

 

My understanding is that Retrospect 5.0 will not run properly in OSX 10.4. It defineitely will not auto-launch properly.

 

The best solution is an upgrade to 6.0.212 which supports Tiger.

 

Thanks
