[Macpartners] Macpartners Digest, Vol 64, Issue 5

[amunch@MIT.EDU]

Hi Brian:

I had two clients fail to install Mac OS X Update 10.5.5 (from 10.5.4) using
Software Update.app

When I downloaded the stand-alone installer from support.apple.com everything
went through smoothly.  You may want to give that a shot.

Best,
Andrew
