It has been a few months since the kids have used the Lego Mindstorms. Today, we gave it a try, but I needed to re-install the Lego Mindstorms application. However this time I needed to install on Snow Leopard. It appeared to complete the install OK, but there was no app in the Applications folder. After doing a quick search, I found a workaround on the NXT STEP - LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Blog that worked!
Here are the steps copied from the blog:
1) Copy the contents of the installation CD onto the Desktop
2) Open the copied folder and look under "Parts". Under Parts, location the "MindstormsUnivEdu.pkg" (if you are trying to install the Educational version) or "MindstormsUnivRet.pkg" (if you are working from the Retail install CD).
3) Control-click (or right-click, if you have a two-button mouse) on the package, and choose "Show Package Contents" from the pop-up menu. This allows you to poke about in the normally "sealed" installation package.
4) Go into the revealed Contents/Resources directory and delete the "preflight" file (toss it in the trash)
5) Close this package and then run it like a normal install from this modified version on your desktop. Mindstorms NXT should install properly.
Have fun!
