VaultletSuite 2 Go Support FAQ for OS X

I can't install VS2Go to my USB drive after I choose that type of install because the installer keeps trying to put it in my /Users/MY_OSX_ACCOUNT/VaultletSuite2Go directory. How do I proceed?

This is a small bug in the installer utility, which can be easily worked around: Once you've chosen to install to your USB device, you need to manually specify where your USB drive is connected when you get to the "Select Destination Directory" step in the installation wizard.

Click on the "Browse" button which appears next to the "Destination directory information to lookup your USB device. You'll need to know and/or recognize the name associated with your USB device to tell the installer where you want it to put the VS2Go. On OSX, this usually starts with "/Volumes/YOUR_USB_DEVICE/".

Once you've found it and selected your USB device and clicked on the "Okay" button, make sure to add "VaultletSuite2Go" to the end of the installation path so that it looks like this: "/Volumes/YOUR_USB_DEVICE/VaultletSuite2Go".

Once you've done that, you're good to go: Click on the "Next" button to finish up.

I'm unable to open the required updater utility for the new version 2.4 (that the VS2Go recently downloaded for me) with Stuffit, nor can I mount it with DiskImageMounter. I'm stuck! What now?

You shouldn't need to use Stuffit with the updater utility, the DiskImageMounter should handle this for you.

(2008.01.22) This just in: The problem is caused by an extra space (e.g.: " " ) being inadvertently added to the end of the downloaded file's name. Here's how to fix it:

Remove the extra space that's been added to the end of the updater program, so that it ends with "...macos_2_4_x_0.dmg" instead of "...macos_2_4_x_0.dmg ". Removing that extra space should make all the difference.

You should be able to find the Updater file in your home folder (/Users/YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME/vaultletsoft). When you try to remove the extra trailing space from the Updater's name, you'll be asked if you "Are sure you want to add the extension ".dmg" to the end of the name?". You should click on "Add" in response.

Once you've renamed the file, you should be able to mount it by double clicking it. Once it's mounted, double click the VaultletSuite2Go Updater icon to start the updater utility.

If renaming the Updater file doesn't work for you (or you're not interested in renaming Updater file), then you can simply download the latest installer and reinstall the VS2Go.

I'm getting "Launch Errors" after updating the VaultletSuite 2 Go on a computer which I share with others (who also use the VaultletSuite). What to do?

This is caused by a file read/write permissions conflict that arose from our assumption that the /Users/shared directory was world read and writeable. This is, apparently, not the case.

With the release of version 2.4.1, our installation strategy has changed for OSX: Since the actual installation is quite small, each user now gets their own copy installed in their home directory.

In order to remedy this problem, uninstall the previously shared installation (by double clicking on the "Uninstall" application), and then download and install the latest version.

The installer wants to install the application to /Users/shared/Applications/VaultletSuite2Go. Why don't you just install it to the standard OSX /Applications directory?

The cross platform installer that we're currently using doesn't support the administrative authentication that we need to install to the /Applications folder.

If you prefer to install to the /Applications folder, you should be able to login as your computer's administrator and then re-run the installer.

(2007.12.29) Note: version 2.4.1's default installation directory has changed and is explained by the previous FAQ entry (right above this one) found here.
