Double-click to Install

Has anyone heard of an application called Double-click to Install? It is installed on the main level of the hard drive of an iBook 466. When I launch it, Classic launches. That is very interesting because I do not have OS 9 installed on this computer. Startup Disk shows that there is a folder called System Folder and that if I select it as a start up I will be in OS9.

Hi eww,
Appearantly the program is a security program used in schools to create a shell around any mac file or program or System Folder to hide it's contents. Everything is totally available, booting into Classic, even booting into OS 9. However, settings cannot be changed and unless you know the password you cannot log in as an admin. You can only log in as a student. Bottom line was to reformat the hard drive and install Tiger doing an Erase & Install. Then I installed 9,2.1, updated to 9.2.2 and everything thing is fine. I just never saw a security program like that.

  • Downloaded an app and now 'double click to install' is showing up like a ghost in the background of my finder windows?

    I am a photographer and I downloaded order software from Miller's (ROES software). The software would not install correctly and now when I open a finder window the 'double click to install' is showing up like a ghost from their installation window? Any ideas? TIA

    Hi..
    Since it's third party, (non Apple) software, you need to visit the ROES software website for support.

  • After I double click to install google earth, nothing happens.

    How do you really install Google Earth? I've downloaded multiple times, double clicked to install many times, looked in the Finder, the library, launched Safari - but it is nowhere to be found.

    Instead of double clicking on the downloaded Icon in the open Finder window, click on and drag the Google Earth Icon to your Applications Folder.

  • Trying to install InDesign (Adobe) but when I double click the Install it calls up FTP Client Ultimate?? What is the install program for MACBook Pro?

    I'm new to MAC, that said I really haven't had much trouble with it except today I am trying to install Adobe InDesgin but it keeps trying to use FTP Client Ultimate  to do so.. What is the installer that it should be using? I was hoping it would auto start and install but no such luck..

    Thanks, I have posted to Adobe regarding their program, but my question here ( I'm new to Mac world) is what install program would normally install this? For some reason my MacBook pro keeps calling on FTP Client Ultimate to do the install and clearly that's not the right program to install a program..
    I Love mu Mac, but getting help is a it frustrating...
    i'm sure Apple has a program similar to InDesign, but have no idea what it would be..

  • I am trying to install MasterCollection_CS6_LS16. When I click the install file I get this error message: We've encountered the following issues. Installation on case-sensitive volumes is not supported. Please choose a different volume for installation.

    I am trying to install MasterCollection_CS6_LS16. When I double click the install file I get this error message: We've encountered the following issues. Installation on case-sensitive volumes is not supported. Please choose a different volume for installation. What does that mean? How should I proceed?

    Hey iraravitz,
    Could you please let me know what version of OS are working on.
    You might receive this error when you attempt to install on a drive with the HFS+ Case Sensitive file system, which is not supported for installation of Adobe Creative Suite 6.
    So, please try installing on a drive that has been formatted with a supported file system.
    You might refer the KB doc link mentioned below for the same:

    Let me know if this helps.

  • How Can I Simulate Double-Clicking A File To Open It In The Default App Without Installing Default App?

    I have an app written with Visual Studio 2013. The app has code for opening a file using the standard OpenFileDialog and also has code (AutoOpenFile()) for opening a file when a user double-clicks on a file that is handled by the app. I have not yet created
    an installer for the app, so I won't be able to test it's AutoOpenFile() code...unless there is a way to simulate the process of auto-opening the double-clicked file without actually installing the app on my PC. Anyone?

    Thanks for your reply, Wyck. I already have the necessary code in my app for opening a file when I double-click on it. The problem is that the app is not currently installed on my PC. Until I do install it, is there a way I can test-run that code
    by double-clicking on an associated file?
    You lost me at: you want to test-run code that is not on your PC.
    O_o
    You want to double-click a file, and then...what do you want to have happen?  You want to run...something...that is not on your PC??
    The "simulation" is to launch your app from the command line and pass in the name of the file you wanted to simulate a "double-click" of.
    Regardless, you cannot get the shell to have a double-click of a file cause your application to launch unless you modify the registry to do so.  (This is tantamount to "install" to me.)
    In the spirit of continuing to be helpful, though, I'll assume that this is what you want to do and I'll show you how to get it done with the least amount of tampering with your registry.
    Here are minimally invasive registry modifications you need to make to get it to launch a program when you double-click your file.  It's pretty small.
    EXAMPLE ONLY:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.wyck]
    @="Wyck.Document"
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wyck.Document\shell\open\command]
    @="c:\\windows\\system32\\notepad.exe \"%1\""
    [You have to save the above with your appropriate modifications to a file with the
    .reg extension (e.g.: test.reg) and then you'll have to double-click the test.reg file to "merge" these settings into your registry.]
    The example above registers a file extension called .wyck and assigns a completely arbitrary class name to it called
    Wyck.Document.
    Then it associates a shell open command with the Wyck.Document class that causes
    notepad.exe to be passed the filename of the file you double-clicked (that's what the
    %1 does).  You are welcome to replace all the specific names with your own extensions and class names and replace notepad.exe with the path to your (test) executable.
    This executable will be launched, but not with a debugger attached.  To facilitate debugging it, you'll want to temporarily add some code to your program to pause when the program launches, possibly by showing a message box right at the very beginning
    of your main function that says "attach debugger now" so that you can attach a debugger to the process that was started by the shell, and then dismiss the message box and continue debugging.
    When you are done with your testing, you can simply manually delete those two registry keys using
    regedit.

    Hello.  I am running Photoshop CC 2014 on a MAC with OSX LION.  I also have Photoshop CS6 installed.  When I double-click on a file in Bridge CC, it always opens in CS6.  If I say "OPEN WITH Photoshop CC 2014", or if I drag the file directly to CC 2014 in the Dock it will open in CC.  Since I like to double-click or hit return in the bridge, I am constantly having to wait until the file opens in CS6, quit CS6 an then open it another way to get it into Photoshop CC 2014.  I tried to disable CS6 by hiding it, but then double-clicking Bridge did nothing.  Any ideas why this is happening?

    Check and adjust the File Type Associations in the bridge cc preferences.

  • Optional Install.mpkg can't open when I double-click to attempt SL install

    The Optional Install.mpkg "can't open" when I double-click to attempt SL installation.

    then something is wrong with your system and not the DVd as may have been suspected. you can always install the optional packages by booting directly from the DVd as i said but you should figure out why it does not work normally. make a new user account and log into it. can you do it from there?

  • Double click to open in CS4.. with CS5 installed

    In my experience, if you have had say, InDesign CS4 and InDesign CS3 installed, as long as you had CS3 open and double clicked a file that was indeed created and saved via CS3, that it would open in CS3.
    However, even if I save a file just created in CS4, and even with InDesign CS4 open (CS5 is not launched), CS5 will launch and open the file if I double click the CS4 file.
    Is this normal?!
    Thank you...

    I was just wondering WHY, as this is most certainly NOT how it used to be. I can recreate the scenario where it worked above (CS3, CS4) all day long.
    Thank you for the confirmation, but would love to know what changed. This is a step backwards, and want to know who to blame. ;-)
    Thank you.
