Installer may cause kernel panic - Version: 7.2, 11/17/2009 06:10PM PST

The last part of the installation executes an AppleScript designed to tell Safari to refresh its plugin list. Unfortunately to do this the folks at DivX decided to go through the process list. This is an unsafe operation, particularly when you have many programs running. On my machine it paniced the kernel. I highly recommend either doing a manual install using Pacifist or only installing with no programs running.

The problematic AppleScript is this:

tell application "System Events"
set myList to (name of every process)
end tell
