Rename Your Safari-whatever "Safari" Will Fix The Installer
Yes. Make sure your Safari is NAMED Safari. Then make a Duplicate (Command+D) as buggy 3 will write over your solid 2 version.Trying to install Safari 3 on my G5 OS 10.4.9 and gives me this:
Anyone with the same problems and a solution?
You're not going to be able to get updates for some of those programs if you don't have them in their default location.My Safari was inside a folder called Internet (I have my apps organised in subfolders)

Safari 300 Is Unstable
I installed Safari 3.0 and spent the next hour on the phone with tech support. Seems it is causing the system to crash.I was among many to call with the same problem. It would not allow me to do anything until I used the reinstall disk. Funny thing is it works perfect in Boot Camp with Windows.
