I am trying to install MultiClutch on a Mac with 10.5.6. However, when I go and double-click MultiClutch.prefPane, I type my password for System Preferences and that works fine. Then when I see the prompt that says "MultiClutch uses an InputManager...", I click: Continue and Install. I then click "Open" and then type my password again. Once that happens, I get the same message again ("MultiClutch uses an InputManager...") and the process repeats itself. What should I do? THanks.

EDIT: Any ideas?

EDIT2: I ended up contacting the creator and he replied stating:

Could you see what the contents of /Library/InputManagers are? It should be a folder called MultiClutchInputManager, but there is a fairly rare (and seemingly random) bug where the install helper will instead move the files (Info, MultiClutchInputManager.bundle) directly to /Library/InputManagers. If this has happened, you can fix it either by deleting the files (installer should then install them correctly) or by creating the /Library/InputManagers/MultiClutchInputManager folder and putting them in it. Hope this helps!

This actually worked. The one thing he did not mention is that you need to have to have permissions to access that folder. Just go to the "Get Info" panel, click sharing at the bottom and then add "Administrator" as allowed and make sure is says read+write access. Hope this works
