Logic vs. Final Cut: Installation Problem Solved -
We’re here on the road looking to capture and edit HDV on the go. I pop in my Final Cut Studio install disc to try out on my loaner MacBook Pro, and — huh? It skips installation of Final Cut Pro no matter what I do? Turns out the culprit is installing Logic Studio, then Final Cut Studio. The solution? Delete your /Library/Receipts/ProAppsIO.pkg file, which makes the Final Cut installer think FCP is already installed. Thanks to Zoom-In for the tip:

See, musicians and visual people just don’t spend enough time collaborating. Or they don’t have quite enough software on their Macs. Problem solved.

Since I installed FCS2 and Logic Studio on my new machine, my EVB3 in Logic hasn’t been working.. I’m sure I installed the content… no idea why it won’t play.

I don’t have a receipts folder or the ProAppsIO.pkg file on my system even though I have Logic installed and I am having the same problem you mentioned. I am using OSX 10.5.2, any suggestions?
