TOPIC
I have been experiencing problems updating my workstations to At Ease 5.0.1.
DISCUSSION
The At Ease updater tries to disable File Sharing before performing the update. You do not need to have File Sharing turned on. However, the File Sharing extension does need to be installed in the System folder and not be disabled (either by Shift booting or by Extensions Manager). If the machine has been booted with the Shift key down (Extensions disabled), File Sharing will not be present. The remedy is to perform the update from Finder with Extensions enabled.
This is a live update to At Ease 5.0. If Extensions are disabled, certain pieces required for the Updater will not be available.
If you have removed File Sharing completely from your machine, you will need to reinstall your System Software. In the future, if there are components that you wish to have removed from the System Folder, use the Extensions Manager Control Panel. This will disable the extension without actually removing it from your machine. You would still need to re-enable the extension in order for the updater to work properly.
