can't install new version on 10.4 #27

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I have a MacBook with Mac OS X 10.4 and Growl 1.1.6.

Growl informs me a new version is available so I follow the instructions
and download Growl-1.2.dmg.

trying to install it produces a "Open Failed" dialog box with the text
»Couldn't open "Growl.pkg". This package type requires Mac OS X 10.5.«

I would like one of the two:
* a growl version that is installable on 10.4
* no notifications about versions that aren't installable anyway

thanks for this nice piece of software!

Unfortunately there isn't anything that can be done about this with regard to 
1.1.6.  Your only workaround to 
being prompted is to turn off automatic update checking.  It is unlikely that 
there will be any future updates to 
Growl 1.1.x, the only case there would ever be an update compatible with 10.4 
is if there was a major flaw with 
1.1.6.

This will be fixed for future versions in the 10.5+ compatible 1.2 series at 
some point through the use of 
Sparkle.
