Today I tried to install Flash MX and got the following error message:
"Administrator or higher access required". I am logged in as root.
When I log in with an admin user, the installer runs, and at the end, it says it doesn't have enough privileges to finish the installation.
I installed the app now with the root account on another mac, where it runs fine, but I can't copy it to mine, it gives me various privilege errors.
So it seems my root account is screwed, since the installer doesn't recognize me as root.
What can I do BEFORE wiping my HDD and starting from scratch (which is actually no option since I have a heavily modified Apache and MySQL installation running, not to mention an XFree Server.
How can I "root" my root user again so that the installer runs???
Would a new install of 10.1.3 help? I don't think so since I had this problem before 10.1.3...
any help is greatly appreciated!!!
