[DropTeam Demo won't install on Mac OS X]

Yay, new DropTeam demo! (The last demo's updater was pretty buggy on the Mac this summer and I gave up on trying out this game.)

So today..

I run the new Demo's installer on my Mac OS X 10.4.8 PPC system and though the installer appears to run fine, and the install log file looks reasonable, without error, but no /Application/DropTeam directory is created and no demo inside to run. Here's the log:

INSTALLTHREAD: Installing to >/Applications/<

Executing: >rm -rf /Users/jay/data.zip<

When I try hand-executing these commands, I get:

$ pwd

/Users/jay/Desktop/DropTeamDemoInstaller/DropTeamDemoInstall/DropTeamInstall

$ cp InstallData/MacOSXBinaries.zip.bz2 /Users/jay/DropTeamBinaries.zip.bz2

$ bunzip2 -f -q /Users/jay/DropTeamBinaries.zip.bz2

bunzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing.

[Mac OS X updater won't]

> probably corrupted preferences

Nope. On your suggestion I deleted the .dat files that got littered into my home directory. (BattleFront take note: these should go in ~/Library/Application Data) and re-installed. Ran the Update app (which has a version number of 0.1) and ran the Update. Still crashes at app quit. Here's the stack trace:
