If any OS X users still have update problems with the downloaded
executable being renamed from StataSE.bin to StataSE.1, killing the
update swap routine, you can download the latest executable from the
Stata web site.
If you do have this problem, can you confirm my system's behavior?
The renaming issue (bug) happens as usual (renaming from StataSE.bin to
StataSE.1 with an icon change as well, from a Stuffit icon to a Stata)
if I start Stata from Stata.do (pwd: /Applications/Stata/Stata Data/).
The renaming bug does _not_ occur (though the icon does change from
Stuffit to Stata) if I start Stata by double clicking the StataSE icon
itself rather than the Stata.do file (pwd: /Applications/Stata/).
I have tested this three times starting from each source and the
behavior was 100% repeatable, using update executable with the force
option.
Any body have an idea as to the permissions settings for these two
folders? And how to reset them to a proper state? I'm thinking either
this or Stuffit might be the problem.
