Comments on: Installing Missing Sync on a Hackintosh

Yup, I got to the same point. Running this in a shell it appears that Installationcheck calls upon Handleregistration, and this in turn is the actual program that causes the Assertion failure, whatever that is. I´m trying to separate the app into the various bits and pieces that makes it tick. I had this problem after a reinstall of Leopard. Missing sync just starts up and disappears after a second or two. Guess there is some crud leftover from the software that handles the license.

Yeah, I got it to install, but it crashed upon launch.

Actually, a better way is to rip out the file(InstallationCheck) . Makes it skip the whole thing.
It installs without a hitch.

I stopped hacking when (a) my MacBook Pro arrived, and (b) I got a phone that works with iSync, and don’t use my Palm Zire anymore.

I did the exact same thing. Glad to see that someone else has been hacking away at this horrible app. If I could get it to stay open, now that I’ve got it to actually install then it probably wouldn’t be so horrible.
This is the error I’m getting now. Same as the guy above. I haven’t made the other alterations that you suggested, but I will do this and see if it helps. Too, if you have a Windows Mobile with the older O/S it will sync with version 2.5.1 if you replace iSync with the Maxxuss 10.4.6 version. I’m not sure about Palm, but I have a plug-in that may help. Email me.

Okay, maybe this wasn’t such a good idea. It turns out the app was failing for a reason other than the one I thought.

When I try to run Missing Sync, or the app which is called in the Installation Check, I get:

*** Assertion failure in -[NSTextFieldCell _objectValue:forString:errorDescription:], AppKit.subproj/NSCell.m:1298

Bad stuff, methinks.
