help!? "the installer could not write the receipt for "plug-in updates"??
i recently bought pro tools m box2 mini and it was going perfectly until i stupidly thought that by uninstalling it i would free up more memory on my mac os x. i did not do a safe uninstall but did a clean uninstall. then when installing pro tools again it stops halfway through installment and says "the installer could not write the receipt for "plug-in updates".
im guessing when i did the clean uninstallment it wiped certain plug-ins and system files needed for the compatibility with some Avid products? do you know what i should do? i live in NZ and tried ringing a whole lot of people but NZdrs and music software just dont go thanks so much |

it sounds like a permissions issue. when you install an app or plugin a receipt file is created here:
hd>library>receipts if the installer hasn't got write access to that folder the installation might well fail. try repairing disk permissions using the disk utility app.
