OK, I've got enough data points to make the claim that the Finale
2006 installer will erase important files from your Library folder.
Is this Tiger-only, or will it clear out your ~/Library/Application
Support folder in Panther as well?
I just got off the line with tech support at MakeMusic and they
confirmed that there is indeed a problem with the installer erasing
the ~/Library/Application Support folder. They just became aware of
it 1 hour ago (it is now noon, July 28) and will stop shipments of
Finale 2006 until they can solve this. It seems to be a Tiger only
problem, but I'm not 100% sure.
If they are "stopping shipments," what will they do for those of us
whose shipments are already on the way (mine is in the hand of UPS,
and will be in my hands tomorrow) and/or for those who have already
received 2k6 and have possibly already hosed their user preferences?

I suppose if you were feeling adventurous, you could make a copy of
your ~/Library/Application Support folder and then put it back after
you do the Finale install. I'm just not sure if that folder was the
only thing to disappear.
