As you may know, because of the changes in Oracle Java from 2014 I will drop using Java Web Start for distributing MegaDrum Manager (MDM) and instead I will switch to providing installable packages for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
Here are the links to the latest MDM installers for Mac OS X:
1. MDM 20131227 Installer with bundle Java Runtime Environment. It is around 50Mb due to bundled JRE. With this version it doesn't matter if you have Java installed on your Mac or not.
2. MDM 20131227 Installer. It is around 2Mb. Use this version if you already have latest Java version installed.

Both versions come with mmj library bundled so you don't need to install anything else.
I guess you cannot use these installers on Mac OS X version older then 10.7

Let me know if you encounter any problems with these installers.

Hi,
I tried to install both versions but I get an error message at the end of the installation.
I'm on Macos X 7.5 and I have version 7 of Java installed on my mac.

The message erro is :
MegaDrumManager can not be installed on this computer

This is version 10.7.5
Btw, I think you can upgrade to version 10.9.x via App Store for free .

The message erro is :
MegaDrumManager can not be installed on this computer

Hm. Can somebody else test and re-produce it on a non-English Mac OS X?

I can't upgrade to version 10.9 because my macbook isn't compatible with Mavricks.
My os 10.7.5 isan non english version.

Yes, I know, this why I asked somebody else to try it on another non-English Mac OS X.

I try it (first of your link) on a macbook air under mac os 10.8.5 french version and the installation is completed successfully.

Hi!

I'm new here, nice to meet you everyone!

About this MacOS 10.7.5 install issue, there usually are more verbose/helpful error messages in Console. Just start it from Spotlight or Applications > Utilities and try to install again. Hopefully, it will give you the real error and allow Dmitri to work around it.

Hello,
here with a french 10.7.5 OSX, no luck either
I have the "can't install on this computer" message.
I tried from the command line, and it is not more verbose :

Code: Select all

installer: Error - MegaDrumManager ne peut pas être installé sur cet ordinateur

another method showed more info

Code: Select all
