Can't install Fetch 5.3 (4 posts)

  I used Fetch 5.2.1 all along one year with entire satisfaction but, as I moved to OS 10.5.4, I have downloaded Fecht 5.3. Unfortunatly, it cannot install. When copying Fetch 5.3 to the Applications folder, after the warning for replacement of the preceeding version, I receive the following one: "You don't have necessary rights to install certain elements" (sorry, it's my translation from french of "vous ne disposez pas des autorisations suffisantes pour certains éléments") and the install process abort. Also after repairing permissions.
  What are these elements, which rigths I need ? I have administrator rights in a session opened under OS 10.5.4 on a Mac G5 PPC.
  Thank you for help.

  Hi,

  These simple instructions should fix the problem:

  * Open your Applications folder.
  * Put your old copy of Fetch (version 5.2.1) in the Trash.
  * Then copy Fetch 5.3 to your Applications folder.

  Please let us know if you are still having problems after trying this.

  Thanks,
