How to install on a Mac?

How to install on a Mac? | puduhead | 05/25/2009 - 16:24 |
I just purchased World of Goo at the Apple Store, but I can't figure out how to install it. When I insert the CD, I see two files on it "Autorun.inf" and "Setup.exe", neither of which are recognized by the Mac when I click on them. The box is marked as Win/Mac but it doesn't seem to have any Mac files on the CD - and the instructions are only for installing on Windows. I have a G4 iMac, OS 10.4.11, 1.24 GB RAM. There are no system requirements listed anywhere on the box, in the instructions, or on the CD, so I have no idea if my computer meets them or not. Or am I missing something obvious??? | ||

Apparently some retail distributors made the error of pressing cd's with just the Windows version on it; maybe you have one of those. There have been a couple of threads about this already, e.g.: Last modified Mon, 05/25/2009 - 17:07 by Soultaker | ||

I likewise bought a copy today at the AppleStore and yup, the disc only contains the Windows volume with autorun.inf and setup.exe. Looks like my daughter doesn't get to play World of Goo tonight after all. I sent a mail to AppleStore, but I would also like to see 2D Boy be proactive and reach out to Apple (and whomever is responsible for the pressing of these CD's), to | ||

I'd just like to let everyone know that 2D Boy jumped on this faster than I've ever seen a game publisher react to a customer problem and resolved my problem with the decidedly not hybrid mac/pc "hybrid" CD. Within minutes my daughter and I were wielding globs of goo to our shared delight! | ||

Missing Mac files on the CD was in fact the problem. An email to 2dboy.com was met with a quick reply making a download replacement immediately available. Thanks everyone for the help, and thanks to Ron Carmel for quickly resolving the problem! |
