AVID XpressDV 3.5 Mac won’t install on Panther OSX 10.3.9 (1008:1,-43) File not Found
Problem: I can’t get AVID Xpress DV Base Ver.3.5
to install on Panther. I thought it would be an AVID problem, but I’ve seen the same error code list by other people on the web with different software…unfortunately with no solutions.Some one mention creating an extension file in the system folder but I have no further experience on this.
Please help.
Thanks
System Specs:
Dual 533 G4, 1.12 GB Ram
Boot Drive 76GB, 68GB Avail.
Data Drive IDE RAID 0 230 GB ((2)114GB Partitions)
Panther OSX 10.3.9 Full Version
iLife 04 Bundle with Panther
Clean install of OS. Deleted iTunes Helper so that iLife would install. Installed DVD Studio Pro 2. Any then tried to install AVID Xpress DV 3.5 Basic version.
I received the following error code 3/4 of the way through the install.
“This installation requires a system folder on the destination drive. The installation has been cancelled. 1008:1,-43 File not found” -

What version of Mac O/S does Avid require to run Avid XpressDV 3.5? I believe it runs only on O/S 9.2, but check Avid’s web site for the real answer.
You can’t install Avid software on just any version of O/S you happen to have. Non-linear edit software requires specific capabilities to be present in both the computer and the operating system. That’s why you see very specific configuration info for running Avid software.
