What are you referring to here? The BB install just copies files to your Applications/Band-in-a-Box folder, and the fonts to your font folder.
Why would you need to repair permissions?




Hi Peter,
Most of us MAC folks know that repairing permissions is a normal regimen for MAC OSX regular maintenance(esp in Panther , Tiger-Leopard much less) when odd things start to happen, and Audio/MIDI folks have gotten to the point of making it a habit to repair permissions and running a GUI type utility e.g. cocktail, ONyx etc for UNIX command utilities, and running the daily, weekly, monthly crons. Kind of similar to repairing the desktop from the ol' OS9 days.Repairing permissions before and after a OS update is almost a must for happy computing.
OSX does have its own niggles if you will, and permissions is one of a few items that can cause OS level issues depending on the users OS configuration.
