I purchased a Canon scanner quite some time ago. I recently had occasion to try to use the OCR software that came with it, which is OmniPage SE. It won't open, giving me a "possibly corrupt" message. No problem, I thought, I'll just reinstall the software.
But I can't. I'm getting a message, toward the end of the installation, that the "operation could not be completed because of a system error (-61).
According to Apple, that's a "write permissions error; not a publisher." First of all, Apple says that system error is for OS9 and I'm using X (10.3.7, to be precise). And I have no idea what "not a publisher" even means. I have repaired permissions, by the way, and it's still a no go.
Anyone have a similar problem or a solution? Barring that, what's a good OCR software for Panther? I know scanning is kind of a dark hole for Mac, which is frustrating in an of itself. The software I'm trying to install has "read me" notes from 2002. And I couldn't find an upgraded driver on the ScanSoft web site, b/c they don't appear to acknowledge the OmniPage SE software.
