WARNING!

Do Not Install QuickTime SDK 7.0.2: Yesterday, we noted that the QuickTime SDK 7.0.2 popped up in our Mac OS X Software Update application and that we installed it without any apparent problem. Well, reader James Reid sent this note from an Ars Technica forum post by CanSpice:

If anyone's a QuickTime developer and uses the SDK, hopefully they haven't upgraded to 7.0.2:
quote:

If you run Tiger Software Update, you may see an update for the
QuickTime SDK 7.0.2. If you are on Tiger, do NOT install this update,
as it will install the wrong set of CoreAudio headers - it installs
Panther based CoreAudio headers and this will cause build problems,
etc. The QuickTime 7.0.2 update is fine; it is the updated QT
binaries and contains no headers.

If you have already installed this SDK SU, then you can get back your
correct Tiger CoreAudio headers by running the latest Developer DVD -
there is an option there for CoreAudio SDK - which are the correct
headers.

We are in the process of turning off this SU while we fix this, so
bare [sic] with this.

Thanks, and apologies for any inconvenience caused.

That's from William Stewart at Apple as posted to the coreaudio-api@lists.apple.com mailing list.

We haven't tried the suggested "fix" even though we have the Developer DVD. We suspect it's just a problem if one uses the SDK in developing applications. [Bill Fox]
