TOPIC
When installing the MacTCP 2.0.6 update patch, an error occurs indicating incompatible or unexpected driver resources. Is there a workaround?
DISCUSSION
In order for the MacTCP 2.0.6 patch installer to run correctly, you must work with an original (unmodified and unopened) copy of the MacTCP 2.0.4 Control Panel. To resolve the problem follow these steps:
NOTE: All licensed copies of MacTCP 2.0.4 can be upgraded. For earlier
MacTCP 2.x versions (2.0 and 2.0.2), you must first be updated to
version 2.0.4 before updating to version 2.0.6.
From MacTCP 2.0.4 to 2.0.6
--------------------------
1) Make a backup of the MacTCP Prep file on a floppy or elsewhere on your
hard disk.
2) Delete the existing MacTCP 2.0.4 Control Panel and MacTCP Prep file.
3) Drag a new copy of MacTCP 2.0.4 Control Panel from the original disk to
the System Folder.
4) Restart your Macintosh.
5) Without opening the MacTCP 2.0.4 Control Panel, run the MacTCP 2.0.6
patch installer.
6) Replace the MacTCP Prep file with the backup you made, or open the
MacTCP 2.0.6 Control Panel and enter the IP configuration settings.
The MacTCP DNR file should not affect this procedure.
NOTE: If you are using System 7.5, you need to use the installer for
System 7.5 in order to obtain a new MacTCP control panel.
From MacTCP 2.0.2 to 2.0.6
--------------------------
If you are using MacTCP 2.0.2, and you wish to update to MacTCP 2.0.6, follow these steps:
1) Make a backup of the MacTCP Prep file on a floppy or elsewhere on your
hard disk.
2) Delete the existing MacTCP 2.0.2 Control Panel and MacTCP Prep file.
3) Drag a new copy of MacTCP 2.0.2 Control Panel from the original disk to
the System Folder.
4) Restart your Macintosh.
5) Without opening the MacTCP 2.0.2 Control Panel, run the MacTCP 2.0.4
patch installer.
6) Restart your Macintosh.
7) Without opening the MacTCP 2.0.4 Control Panel, run the MacTCP 2.0.6
patch installer.
8) Replace the MacTCP Prep file with the backup you made, or open the
MacTCP 2.0.6 Control Panel and enter the IP configuration settings.
The MacTCP DNR file should not affect this procedure.
