CLAN installation questions

Catherine,

    One thing I can think of is that if Mac users had CLAN app installed in
some other location than /Applications, then installer will try to replace
that old CLAN app in that old location instead of putting it in
/Applications/CLAN folder. This is strange, but it is how Apple's installer
works. So, make sure that there aren't any CLAN apps on the computer first,
before running installer. If this still fails, then you can get a zip
version of CLAN from http://childes.psy.cmu.edu/clan/clan.zip and install it
manually.

    On PC, during installation process, after you double click on
clanwin.exe installer, you will get to panel called "Destination Folder". It
is the second panel you will see after pressing "Next >" button. Here on the
right there is a button "Change..". Click on that button and select a
different folder to install CLAN in.

Leonid.
