Error installing VW 7.8 on OSX 10.6.2

Accepting the defaults when trying to install from CDROM I get the following popup error as soon as
installation begins:

Unhandled exception: Permission denied

An error occurred in the application.
The application will now terminate.
A diagnostic dump of the error could not
be made, or the dump was incomplete.

Help?  Thanks.

It didn't help to reboot the machine or use sudo open to launch the installation app from terminal.

Re: Error installing VW 7.8 on OSX 10.6.2

Ah, I've figured it out.  For some reason my Mac is not allowing me
write access to the user folder the same name as my user account.  If
I log in as a different user I can install VW7.8 without problem.  Of
course this makes other things difficult.

Improper operator selectors

While upgrading our application from VW 7.6 to VW 7.8 I found
some new bugs due to the change in the operation definition.
Things like 1 <at> -1 no longer work, it should be 1  <at>  -1 . As
a result I decided to search the image for other similar bugs.

Inspecting the result of the following expression;

ByteSymbol allInstances select:
	[:sym |
	sym size > 1 and: 
		[sym size < 6 and:
			['|\~! <at> #$%^&*()-+=,./?><;:[]{}' includes: sym first]]]

I found a sender of ->- in MenuEditor>>shiftRight.

Re: Comparison of Aida/Web, Seaside and Iliad web frameworks

In my opinion, these types of comparisons reduce the community to "if 
you're not a part of Cool(TM), you're part of the problem".  This point 
of view is not productive in the long term.  Without diversity, we're 
just inviting a single evolutionary Cool(TM) deficiency to wipe us out 
in a blink.  Also, enough of "Cool(TM)":

Re: Comparison of Aida/Web, Seaside and Iliad web frameworks

Well... not so much.  Comparisons aren't always about better/worse - sometimes - and this effort could go
that way - illustrate which tool is best for a particular task.  None of the web frameworks compared in this
effort are the universal answers to all web tasks, and some of them are better in than others in some areas. 
As well, some of them appeal to different people for different reasons, and comparisons help people make choices.

I guess that explains the line items for

* Contributor Photos Online
* Considered Cool
* Stephane Ducasse

QED... :).

Re: Comparison of Aida/Web, Seaside and Iliad web frameworks

Which is why I said <could> rather than <will>.  At the same time, having contributor photos online, as a way
of giving credit, is a good thing

I have been able to open and write to a file based on James Robertsons u tube 
video but am struggling with how to create a filename and close the file.

Thanks in advance for advice

Re: Using Com

Are you talking about basic VW file IO, or the COM Connect?

Which video?
