Some users experience problems when Installing J-Express on mac using the multiplatform installer..
Here is a report from one user:
The standard now is that you have to "unlock" the installer with an administrator password. This is not the case for the current installer, which probably assumes the user is admin on her own machine. At our universsity we are, but for security reasons not as our standard user. Thus with a standard installer, we may be logged on as ourselves, and when installing we click the lock and autheticate as admin (without logging in). With the current installer one has to be logged on as admin to be allowed to write to the applications folder. Subsequently, you log on again as yourself, but then do not have proper access to the files. (also the Launch.java file got the wrong application link, but that may be a machine-system problem). One therefore has to change access to the Jexpress folder contents manually.J-Express use the izpack installer for multiplatform and some issues have recently been discovered. (
