System 6.0.7 Installer: Problem with TrueType



The System 6.0.7 Installer seems to have trouble dealing with reinstalling
the System software onto a disk that is using TrueType.

Even when the Installer is just doing a simple installation, it compares
the Backgrounder that it has with the one that's been installed, and
refuses to continue unless it's given permission to replace the newer
Backgrounder with the older one.

Is there a solution to this problem that DOESN'T require extreme
acrobatics? Or will I have to install the System software, replacing the
new files with the old, then reinstall the TrueType set?

Unfortunately, here is no way around this situation. The System Software
6.0.7 Installer was released many months before the StyleWriter and
Personal LaserWriter LS were introduced. The installer script writers did
not anticipate this situation.
