Tiger DVD Player

[vemomarcel]

Hello,

I have a strange problem with the DVD Player. The software has been deleted(http://images.macrumors.com/vb/images/smilies/frown.gif).

Now when I try to reinstall it, it says that it is already installed!

There is no way to do really uninstall it?

If somebody knows how i can get just the application without the installer it will be great.

Thanks
FA

Is there a file named DVDPlayer.pkg in your Receipts folder? If so, delete it. 🙂

 

[vemomarcel]

thank you for your replay.
I already try it.
It says that "it can not reinstall the software because there is already a newer one installed"
and it stops installing...

PS:I try with version 4,6

 

[mad jew]

So you deleted that package. Did you try deleting other packages with DVDPlayer in the name?

 

[vemomarcel]

No, I did try with the only one concerned by dvd player(found with Spotligth).

Has somebody an idea or a way to reinstall only this software without reinstalling whole the system?

 

[mad jew]

Well have you since tried removing the other packages?

Thanks to replaey.

To clarify the situation. I let just one pakage named DVDPlayerUpdate.pkg in the system. I tried to run it on my desktop or in the Receipt directory, the same message: "there is a newer version of the software..."

When it is says that there is a newer software,it is based on what?
What is the database of installed software equivalent to "windows registers 😱 database..."?

Well, it's a mixture of the Applications folder and the Receipts folder.
