Overture 1.0.3 DMG problem ? - davidrm - 04-30-2008

Hi -

I've tried several downloads of the 1.0.3 demo of Overture, from different sites, and in each case, the uncompressed DMG fails to mount (on Mac OS X 10.5.2)

Disk Utility also fails to mount it.

Only error message is "reason: not recognized". Nothing in Console.

David

Check if the file extension was something like ".dmg.gz". If so, just change the extension from ".dmg.gz" to ".dmg" and everything should be fine.

No, I decompressed it from .bz2. Tried several tools as well as command line (I'm not exactly a newbie at this stuff :-) )

Also tried verifying with Disk Utility and it failed...

Download the original file again and if for some reason there is a .bz2 added to the file, remove it before you do anything else. Then mount the .dmg as normal and it should work.

Thanks! Works fine.
