Tell your client to look for the ADE 2.0.1 installer and, if that doesn't work, the 1.7.2 installer. (Both are still offered for download on the Adobe website.)
The client is also strongly recommended to take advantage of the free upgrade to the latest OSX version, which will not only allow him or her to install ADE 3.0 but also iBooks, which can also be used to test ePub2 books. |
Thanks, Doits, eschwartz:
But this guy can't even manage, well, anything. I have been yanking my hair out of my head for the last 4 days, and I won't regale everyone here with the horrors of every other stunt he's pulled. It's been serious grim here at the Casa de Booknook, with his High Drama. (And, lord, do I mean, HIGH DRAMA.
Everything is a
disaster, a
crisis, it's
too much for him, etc.) He wrote a long rambling email about how I should keep a table, asking every single client EXACTLY what computer, what OS they are on, and tracking what software works for that computer (for ePUB readers, you see), and I should have known that his OSX 10.6.8 wouldn't run 3.0--although as you guys see, by all rights, from my research, allegedly, it would.
Thanks much, Doits, for the testing, too. That sounds vaguely like what the client experienced. I will never understand why they think I'm somehow responsible for what Adobe does/doesn't do, or when a piece of completely third-party software doesn't do what it "should." I told him to install either Calibre or iBooks, but now he says--I kid thee not--he "[doesn't] have the strength for it."
