 InstallationCheck my Mac tells me it's a UNIX executable. How do I
 modify it? assuming I have right file!!
Ah, it's not a script, it's an executable.

In that case, rename it to something like NotInstallationCheck, then try
the install. If that doesn't work, create a plain text file with that
name by cutting and pasting the following into Terminal.app:
-----8<-----cut-here-----

sh
cat > InstallationCheck << \!
#!/bin/sh
exit 0
!
chmod +x InstallationCheck
-----8<-----cut-here-----



Again thanks. I was able to open it with TextEdit and do the mod so 
even though it's an executable it is still a text file.

This brings back memories of ResEdit..... can do lots of things but 
can also stuff things up pretty quickly to I would imagine

Again thanks for pointing me in the right direction
