Update to OmniPage Pro X fixes Mac OS X install problem, still has Photoshop plug-in problems

CNET staff

In January, we noted problems with installing OmniPage Pro X under Mac OS X 10.2.x. For most users, the installation ceases when it is almost complete (generally after installing about 870 of the 890 or so files.)

An update to OmniPage Pro X, available on CD from ScanSoft (OmniPage's developer) apparently fixes the issue. Unfortunately, you will have to contact ScanSoft directly in order to obtain the working CD.

As an alternative, you can either startup in Mac OS 9 to install OmniPage Pro , or dig into the InstallerMaker archives and launch the "OmiPage Pro X English" file using the "Open with Classic" option in the Get Info dialog box.

The software still does not recognize Photoshop 7 plug-ins.
