Users attempting to install and run CX 4.0 or 4.1 on Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)
Just before Apple released Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), we discovered some compatibility issues which prevented Strata 3D CX 4.0 and 4.1 from running on Tiger (10.4.x). A downloadable updater for CX 4.0 and 4.1 users is available at:

Tiger also affected the application that we use to install CX 4.0 and 4.1. We have provided notes to help with installing these versions onto Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger) and then running the Strata 3D CX 4.2 updater, which fixes the compatibility issue the Tiger.
