Great news: with Leopard, there is no need for iCalFix anymore!
Bad news: iCalFix is not compatible with the new version of iCal and the latter keeps complaining about the former.
A lot of people have asked the author -BTW: thanks again, Robert, for creating iCalFix when it was needed- how to remove iCalFix but never got a reply.

Here is a veeery simple fix:

Simply remove the input manager from /Library/InputManagers

Using the shell:
sudo rm -rf /Library/InputManagers/iCalFix

I did not invent anything.

I just found -on the web, where else?- a fairly easy method to create sIFR Flash Files without the need for Adobe Flash Studio itself. Thus, here it is: a free, dead-simple tool to help you convert as many font files as you need painlessly.

Then come back and download OpensIFRr, because you will want to play with this nice concept.

Let me show you an example of a short sIFR-enabled page:

You download a .dmg, double-click and expect that all your files should be an exact copy of the original install files. And yet, sometimes, you get stuck with this message.

Here is a very simple fix that works 90% of the time: make sure that your post-install script can be executed!

Open a shell window, go to where your package is, and type:

chmod a+x yourpackage.pkg/Content/Resources/postinstall

Of course, replace ‘yourpackage,pkg’ with the package’s actual name.
