DoubleCommand / Discussion / Open Discussion: postflight install script fail

chumpytown - 2008-05-21

Not sure what's going on, but this is what happened during my install. Happens repeatedly on reinstalls, even if /Library/StartupItems and /Library/PreferencePanes are removed.

From the syslog:

5/20/08 6:04:32 PM Installer[385] The following install step failed: run postflight script for DoubleCommand. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.

5/20/08 6:34:15 PM com.apple.SystemStarter[17] DoubleCommand will not load due to a problem last load

  Do a spotlight search for: DoubleCommand.crashed then delete that file. Once deleted, the installation should work just fine.

    I've removed everything. And there is not *.crashed file.
    
    I'm still getting this same error. Any thoughts?

      It's possible spotlight wasn't able to locate the file.
      
      Double check in: /Library/StartupItems/DoubleCommand/ and make sure DoubleCommand.crashed isn't in there.

  I have the same problem. I've deleted everything on my computer relating to DoubleCommand, tried to reinstall and keep getting the same error message. Like Link, there was no *.crashed file. I had the program successfully installed for about two weeks and then it just stopped working and that's why I keep trying to reinstall it.

  I have exactly the same problem as Linsay. DoubleCommand stopped working and since I use it to remap may right enter key on my MBP I really miss it;(

  :) I found the solution in the same thread as Link:)
  
  "Well looking around I found the solution, there was a DoubleCommand.crashed in /private/var/tmp/DoubleCommand.crashed"
  
  Thanks!

  where do I find the "private" folder or subfolder? I still am unable to find the DC.crashed file, but I am sure it is out there. I have the exact same symptoms.

  Use go to folder (shift command G) and type in the folder path.

  None of the above is working for me. No matter what method I try, I can't find anything by the name of DoubleCommand.crashed.
  
  I suppose the only thing left is to format the damn thing. Or is there anyone with another idea?
  
  Thanks
