Are you sure this is about a newer version of macfuse? I didn't think the
installer was that smart.

Well all I really know is that the installer gave me the error above. Maybe it
means I have a "newer version" of iphonedisk itself? I don't know how that
would be, but is there a way to check?
Could it be that the the "Disk for iPhone" package isn't that smart but that
the MacFuse.pkg that it imports is?

Perhaps. Did you, by chance, have another version already installed? I could
have messed up the installer and gave it a lower version.
I'll dig more into the MacFuse.pkg suggestion, which I didn't consider. My
impression was that the MacFuse installer was supposed to be smart enough to
work around that issue, but it is possible that i've configured the iphonedisk
installer in such a way to make it matter which version is installed.
Thanks.

There should be an installed that does not try to install MacFuse. This is a
stability issue. I depend on MacFuse for other apps and would not want to
upgrade it. I would certainly try iPhoneDisk with my current MacFuse, and if it
didn't work I wouldn't touch it.

Asking the user to install macfuse themselves is not a great user experience.
This is why MacFUSE provides a smart auto installer, that we're using. See
http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/wiki/AUTOINSTALL
From that page: "We just saw that MacFUSE installation knows how to find and
install the latest version of MacFUSE. The built-in install/update engine also
knows how to update MacFUSE to the latest version"
If you have other apps that are using an older version of MacFUSE, then they
aren't following the MacFUSE guidelines in that wiki, from what I understand.
If you're using a non-stable release of MacFuse then obvious that installer
will attempt to overwrite your version which isn't great. If you're in that
category, then I suggest compiling iPhoneDisk from source and not using the
installer.
If we're using the MacFUSE installer incorrectly, then we should fix it, but I
think we're using it correctly. Please let me know if that isn't the case.

I haven't heard any more details so I'm closing this bug. Re-open if you want
to discuss it more.
