Hi All,
Matt Adler tried to install Securexam and ran into a problem. Luckily,
it's an easy problem to fix.
When you download the installer from planetssi.com, it will show up on
your computer (likely your Desktop) as a file called
"securexamStudent(MAC"
Without a proper file extension, OS X has no idea what to do with the
file. To fix the file, I had to rename it by adding ".dmg" at the end
(I renamed it to securexamStudent(MAC).dmg). A window popped up
asking if I was sure that I wanted to change the file name. I clicked
Yes, and everything worked fine after that.
The file set to download is incorrectly/incompletely named, but once
.dmg is added on as the file type, it works correctly.
I've notified Ben (IT Mgr.), so hopefully he'll work with Securexam to
fix the problem before you download. That said, if you run into this
issue, you'll know what to do.
Also, Ben sent out an email to your usfca email address today about
installing the exam software. As it's likely that your .edu inbox is
full, I've copied the most important dates below, and have also added
install instructions (pdf) to the Files section of the Yahoo! Group site.
From Ben's email:
Law School ITS will be holding a Securexam Workshop in KN 101 on:
November 29, 2007 from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, and
November 29, 2007 from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
If you need technical assistance with Securexam but cannot attend
these workshops, please drop by the Law ITS office located in Zief
108. You can also contact the Law ITS team by email
(lawhelp@...) or by telephone (415-422-2220).
Happy Sunday,
Michael
