System 7.5 Update 2.0 Custom Install Script For Customers Using System 7.5.5

After installing System 7.5.5 Update, you may find it necessary to reinstall components from System 7.5 Update 2.0. However, System 7.5 Update 2.0 will not allow installation of components on computers running System 7.5.5. The supported solution is to perform a clean install. In response to customer needs, Apple Computer is providing this unsupported installer script to allow the custom installation of System 7.5 Update 2.0 components. For example, if you have the need to install Open Transport 1.1, and have installed System 7.5.5 Update, you can use this unsupported script to install Open Transport 1.1 without performing a clean install.

1. Make a backup of your system folder before attempting to use this unsupported installer script.

2. Open the Extensions Manager control panel.

3. Choose ÒSystem 7.5.5Ó from the Sets pop-up menu.
