Why Doesn't Stuffit Expander Work on EV: Nova?

Nothing happens. Am I missing something?

Either your archive is corrupt or you need a newer release of Expander.

I got it from Ambrosia!

And I have the newest expander that doesn't require PPC. I don't need "dropstuff" do I?

You have a CD-ROM from Ambrosia or did you download it?

Remember, EV Nova is "supposed" to be for PPCs only. It may be possible they stuffed it using Stuffit 6.0 which 5.5 can't handle. Doh!

Yeah. I downloaded it.

But other people have said it worked. How did THEY do it?

I downloaded it from Ambrosia and expanded it on B2 Build 143 using Stuffit Expander 5.5.1.

Okay. Okay. I got it installed. I got it via FTP. Has Internet Explorer been corrupting SIT files all along without me knowing? Or did I just forget that it has been doing that?

Ambosia Software's FTPs are still being hit harder then they are used to, hence sometimes you are bound to get a disconection mid download. In my experence I just dont use my Mac emulator for web browsing (it is almost a slow as in one of the new I-macs). I just use HFV explorer and send it to the mac hard drive image.
Oh, and am I the only one who wants to kill Apple because they hide Quick Time 5.0.3 (?) on their site so it is damn hard to get? I had to wind up entering the site adress manualy and got redirected a few times.

Actually, HFV explorer damages drive images because it doesn't let the OS handle file copying. Eventually it will become unusable.

My advice is to keep a main image that you don't touch with HFV and then make another drive that you use to put files on. Then you don't damage your main image.
