Overture 1.0.3 DMG problem ?

**davidrm** · 04-30-2008, 10:06 PM

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.

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.
