Eye Fi won't install in Lion on external drive.

[dricke]

Installation fails every time I try to install latest software from Eye-Fi with Lion, 10.7. Lion is on an external firewire connected to a MacBook Intel Core Duo 2. Anyone have any idea what I can do? The Log:

dricke,

Without the full log file, it's difficult to be definitive in suggesting a solution. I'd hazard a guess at an Adobe AIR installer failing due to the fact that there is an Eye-Fi Center application available on your machine under /Applications/Eye-Fi. With the current Adobe AIR based application, we cannot support this hardware setup - we've had quite a few customers have some difficulties installing and updating Eye-Fi Center when they have TimeMachine running too.

We have a working solution though. We've cooked up a version of Eye-Fi Center which doesn't rely on Adobe AIR. I'll PM you details of how to get it if you are interested.

Let me know if you'd be willing to try out this beta software.

There's a new forum category about the public beta where you can download the Mac & Windows versions.
