TOPIC

    What version of Open Transport comes with Mac OS 7.6?

DISCUSSION

    Mac OS 7.6 ships with Open Transport (OT) version 1.1.1. Open Transport 1.1.2 was completed after the date that Mac OS 7.6 was closed for new component submissions, therefore OT 1.1.1 was used.

    If you install Mac OS 7.6 on top of a system that already has OT 1.1.2 installed, you get the error "The file "File Name" already on "Hard Disk Name" is more recent than what you are about to install. Click Continue to replace "File Name" with the older version. Click Cancel to leave the disk "Hard Disk Name" untouched".

    If you have Open Transport 1.1.2 installed, you get this error dialog seven times during the installation process. The following files need to be replaced during this process:

    OpenTransportLib
    OpenTptInternetLib
    OpenTptAppleTalkLib
    Open Transport Library
    Open Tpt Internet Library
    Open Tpt AppleTalk Library
    TCP/IP

    This message occurs because there are resources in the System file specific to the OT 1.1.1 in the 7.6 system file. To avoid a mismatch of Opent Transport componenets, and compatibility problems, the Installer removes OT 1.1.2, and installs OT 1.1.1. After installing System 7.6, with Open Transport 1.1.1, you may reinstall OT 1.1.2 and it will work fine.
