I can't get the updater to 4.5.3 to work. It keeps saying it can't find things in the normal places, but it is clearly in Applications folder. Why do 99% of updates work flawlessly and this one that is supposed to be a sophisticated "fix-it" tool doesn't work? Very frustrating. Am I supposed to pay for the update, and if this is case why is it download-able. I hate applications that you have to take a week out of your life to update them. Bad news this app!

Updater won't update! - barryaus
I had exactly the same problem. Twice I tried to update my 4.1.2. Each time it told me that it could not find something, which was not in the proper place. I know I never moved the App from the Applications folder, and I don't know enough to move any of the other items that the installer puts in various places. Each time it told me that I had to dismiss the message, and then it proceeded and told me it had been successfully installed, believe it or not, but each time I still have 4.1.2. I read elsewhere that the update from 4.1.2 is one I have to pay for, but why can't the installer be programmed to tell that, rather than going through all these hoops for naught? (Of course I read that AFTER trying to do the update twice.)Sunday, July 29 2007 @ 07:04 PM PDT
Update what? - GNJ
Just curious --- what version do you have that you are trying to update? Was it *installed*, or copied to your applications folder? Have you messed with any of the resources (as in stripping out some languages)?You need to have version 4.5.1 or 4.5.2 to update. Install it again, before you try to update ---- there are other items the installer puts into your system (like layered folders for assorted plists)
