thai316 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Is it possible to change this? Mainly because you can't install silverlight 2.0 and watch the Olympics with a powerpc. If it's not possible I'll just stick to using vmware fusion and watching it on that, but thanks!

Suzie's Soliloquy Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I'm impressed how you're running a powerpc hackintosh off a Pentium D...

bigfame Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 yea what your saying makes no sense. If your using whats in your sig you have a intel hackintosh. Only thing I can think of is Silverlight is a Windows only app? If so install paralells or XP on another parition.

coolied Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I just installed Silverlight 2.0 for Mac OS; seems to work fine on my Hack (10.5.4, Vanilla 9.4.0 kernel, EFI V8), I believe what is happening to the OP is that the control for detecting which version to install is detecting his machine as a PPC. I would check in System Profiler and make sure the SMBIOS isn't somehow reporting a PPC processor vs. an Intel. Barring that, i'd look for a downloadable version of Silverlight vs. relying on the automatic detection on the installer page. If you'd like, I could email you the installer but beware, it would be a 6.7MB attachment. PM me your email addy if you need it, though. EDIT: By the way, my Silverlight plugin version (Firefox) is 2.0.30523.9 after installing the plugin Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/120734-changing-hackintosh-from-powerpc-to-intel/#findComment-854851 Share on other sites More sharing options...
critic81 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I got it to work. I was having the same problem and couldn't get it to install. What I did is, I modified the install script so it always returns a 0, which indicates no problems and it should install. If you want to do it on your own, copy the contents file out of the package, then modify the InstallationCheck script and where ever you see 96+6 or whatever it is, change it to a 0. Save then make a new folder, put the contents folder into the new folder, then rename it to Silverlight.2.0.pkg. And there ya go.

thai316 Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Thanks a lot critic81! Did exactly what you said and it works great!!! Also about the powerpc part, I wasn't sure if my hackintosh was a powerpc or and Intel because the installer keep telling me that it was a powerpc. Also nothing in the system profiler list anything to do with intel, so I just assumed it was. I'm still not sure what it is, but I attached what my hardware is in the system profiler. comp.tiff Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/120734-changing-hackintosh-from-powerpc-to-intel/#findComment-854975 Share on other sites More sharing options...

thai316 Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 2.67 GHz Intel Pentium D, but that was because I changed it with osx86tools. I used to say unknown 2.67GHz processor.

I fixed it with help from critic81 (He figured the check value on PowerPC and make it always be false), I repackaged... www.insanelymac.com/lofiversion/index.php/t116455.html Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/120734-changing-hackintosh-from-powerpc-to-intel/#findComment-913708 Share on other sites More sharing options...
