Some minimal progress in modernizing the install was apparently made, because the updater is delivered as a disk image (“dmg”) file (“ V2XE31H.dmg”), my preferred approach, excepting the name.
Next I downloaded “ Hyper-Utility Software HS-V2 Ver.3.1H Updater for Mac OS X”. Attempting to run the application resulted in a crash every time: There was no mention of where these items had been installed, what had been installed, or even the name of the program that had been installed. The crude installer installed 2289 items (“ Installer was successful”). I could find no “uninstall” option in that installer. The lack of an uninstall makes it downright annoying. Because the installer says absolutely nothing about what’s to be installed (or afterwards, what has been installed), this is particularly egregious.
Asking for the administrative password is always worrisome in that some specialty software might be installed (eg a kernel extension), potentially putting system stability at risk.
The apparently hastily-designed installer required the Mac OS X administrative password with no explanation of why it was required, or what was to be installed.
At least those names suggest something about photography or raw-file processing. The first poor choice to the user interface was the name: what does the name “Hyper-Utility” have to do with processing Fuji raw files? Consider the names “Nikon Capture”, “Digital Photo Professional”, “Adobe Camera Raw” and “Capture One”. The Fujifilm representative gave me the CD-ROM, and I installed the Fujifilm “Hyper-Utility” program using that CD. Things have no doubt changed much since I wrote this in 2006 - it is now 2010.
