Snow Leopard issues - an interim fix

There have been a number of people who have had problems with the NXT-G environment installations, and the newest Max OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard). Installations that either don't work or don't seem to do anything, etc. There is a interim solution I've been told about, but I've not personally tested it, as (for various reasons) I've not installed 10.6 on my Mac as yet. But, here's the steps I've been told should allow NXT-G 2.0 to install on a 10.6 machine:

1. Copy the contents of the installation CD onto the Desktop
2. Open the copied folder and look under "Parts". Under Parts, location the "MindstormsUnivEdu.pkg" (if you are trying to install the Educational version) or "MindstormsUnivRet.pkg" (if you are working from the Retail install CD).
3. Control-click (or right-click, if you have a two-button mouse) on the package, and choose "Show Package Contents" from the pop-up menu. This allows you to poke about in the normally "sealed" installation package.
4. Go into the revealed Contents/Resources directory and delete the "preflight" file (toss it in the trash)
5. Close this package and then run it like a normal install from this modified version on your desktop. Mindstorms NXT should install properly.

This is not by any means a permanent fix - LEGO and NI are working on that, and hopefully will have a patch or something to fix this properly. But hopefully this will allow the folks who have had trouble with 10.6 and NXT-G to continue playing.

Please let us know if this fixed your 10.6 problems, or brought up new ones.
