Has anyone try to install Maelstorm before? Currently there are two major classes of application installers that are known not to work with Executor. Installers based on Apple's Installer break, and installers based on Bill Goodman's "Smaller Installer" also do not work. An example of the former is Microsoft Word 5's installer, an example of the latter is Maelstrom 1.4. The exact reasons these installers is not known. We have made some progress with "Smaller Installer" based installers and hope to have them running by the time 2.0 ships; we are less sure about Installers based on Apple's installer. The particular error message that Maelstrom's new installer produces is misleading; there is nothing you as a user can to to make the installer work -- it will require fixes made to Executor. --Cliff
