Yes, the patch is for making RDS compatible with OS 9 so you can run the program - that's what robertzavala and myself are talking about, but the problem is you have to install the regular version first before applying the patch, and that's where the trouble begins. The regular install, which is not compatible with OS 9 somehow is not completed properly under OS 9 so applying the patch to that faulty install often results in the above mentioned error or the program will not run. I haven't tried locking the two extensions for this problem as it referred to a different, earlier situation, but I will now just to see if that helps solve this particular problem.
