The dock is working and I can command+tab between open Applications. So something about the existing /Applications/PHENIX-**** directories is causing an installer problem.

An update: apparently this happens to Paul too, and it may be related to the installer removing previous versions of PHENIX. Scott, what happens if you delete all previous installations first, then run the new installer?

Hello,

After running the OS X point-n-click installer for the 1.8.1-1160 nightly build, the dock becomes unresponsive and I can no longer command+tab to switch between applications. I've reproduced this on 2 Macs. One running 10.8.2 and the other running 10.7.5

Relaunching Finder does not fix the proton dock/app switching

Logging out and then logging back in fixes the problem.

Oh dear, I think this may have been a problem with my shell script, not Apple's tool. Give the next nightly build a try (1168 or newer, hopefully available tomorrow) *without* removing the 1160 folder first, and let me know if that fixes the problem. -Nat On Wed, Sep 26, 2012 at 4:40 PM, Nathaniel Echols wrote:

These don't matter, since they're based on pure Unix and ignorant of the high-level installation framework (and vice-versa).

Not the directories as such, but Apple's awfully buggy packagemaker tool and/or the installer app itself, which is trying to do some sort of cleanup. I'll look into it.
