v2 Updater Fails Repeatedly

Running Mac OS9.1 upgrading FMPro 5.5v1 to 5.5v2 with the FM updater. It appears to update the app correctly, creating a file called FileMaker Pro.old and a new FileMaker icon appears but then it stops and says, "An error prevented the update from completing. Invalid file selected for updating." Huh? The next dialog gives an error code to boot: 11002:2,-14.

Help!

I can't tell if the update completes. It *appears* to me that the application itself upgrades correctly (there is a FileMaker Pro.old in the folder along with a new FileMaker Pro), BUT the install quits with 40 files yet to move according to the progress dialog.

It's a local CPU, so there's no password control at issue.

I too ran into this and for the life of me couldn't figure out what was going on, until I deleted the "new updated files" and moved the ".old" files back to where they came from, launched the updater again and watched to see where it konked out.

Short story is that it turns out the updater was trying to replace a plug-in in my FM Developer package instead of the FMP plug-ins, as, being a tidy Mac user, I kept them together in the same folder. There was something with the date or file version that stopped the update. I'm sorry, I can't remember which file it is though... crazy.gif" border="0

Once I moved the Dev folder to my desktop and ran the updater again, everything worked just fine.

HTH somehow...

Still no joy. It updates the application correctly (or appears to) but with 39 of 41 files remaining to install, it quits with the error I reported earlier when it appears to be trying to update "Read Me." Read Me is there. I've tried renaming and deleting/removing that file from my 5.5 folder. No luck.

Has *anyone* gotten this upgrade to install correctly on 9.1 and 5.5v1?

Well, none of those restrictions applies here. I am not using MAC OS security. No log-on password. No Web or other server active. I did not rename the file; I just recently instlled FMPro 5.5 cleanly (i.e., not an upgrade). It's not the developer edition.

I remain bewildered.

Yes, it updated just fine for me. And passwords are an issue if on the local drive, you actually used a password to logon (from the AMc OS security module).

Did you perhaps rename the FileMaker Pro application from when you originally installed it?

The updater does not work on the Developer Edition; it works on;y on the English version of FMP.
