I'm getting a failure at "run postflight script for Root", anyone know what the issue is, or a workaround? This is on a fairly recent Mac Pro with the latest operating system.

With this failure, the install "looks" complete (FAH is available from System Preferences), but the client won't start. I'm using client 6.20 and am not a Mac expert (I just recently made the switch). I can click start folding@home from within system preferences, it asks for my system password, then does nothing (client still disabled).

Hi Tracy

Here is a thread which discusses (and hopefully resolves) your issues which largely points to admin rights or potentially manually creating a FaH folder.

Good luck.

I think they are going through some upgrades this week and we are encountering glitches they havent spotted and worked out yet but Im not sure. When I downloaded it the day before yesterday I noticed that a lot of stuff was different and it seemed to take longer to activate.
