  • LH 4.0 driver install refuses???

    Posted by Chris Borjis on July 14, 2008 at 9:09 pm

    I want to try the 4.0 drivers to see if this fixes my rs-422 problems before officially contacting aja.

    for some odd reason 4.0 or 5.0 drivers REFUSE installation.

    The error I get is:

    YOU CANNOT CONTINUE, THERE IS NOTHING TO INSTALL

    5.1 driver is the only one that will install.
    I am not running leopard and have no future plans to.

    4.0 should install, I have admin rights and have successfully
    uninstalled 5.1

    There are no conflicts according to the checker, I am running the current supported version of quicktime and os x.

    any ideas?

    found the problem.

    I had to manually delete the 5.1 .pkg file from the \library\reciepts folder.

    ridiculous.

    the uninstaller should handle this like every other software/hardware driver.

    NO — it should not–

    Not when you are going backwards to a previous file version- you were regressing the drivers and the OS was specifically designed to prevent you from loading a prior software version on top of a newer one.

    Absolutely it should. Every thing else does.

    an uninstaller is made to do that….uninstall.

    The black magic decklink drivers not only uninstall ALL software/drivers, but it also downgrades firmware if necessary.

    The aja uninstaller should at least tell you what to do after it finishes, but it doesn’t and thats an unwarranted inconvenience.
