Can't install when newer MacFUSE present #45

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
1. download the supplied disk image, Disk for iPhone 20100411.dmg
2. run the installer

The disk I want to install on has a warning icon, "You have chosen to install 
on a disk that contains a newer version." The installer can't continue.

I have MacFUSE 2.1.5 (Beta).

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.
