Then I uninstalled and it did in 2 seconds.
Of course there was no documentation to try understanding how to locate and launch this thing.
Joke or fntom app.

Run System Optimizer X and authenticate when it asks you to. Then run the repair permissions thing. Open up a terminal and run 'ps -a'. Notice your password appears in plain text. Anyone on the system can run the ps command and also see your password. This needs to be fixed.
Example:
inverted-urchin:~ user$ ps -a
PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
1986 p7 Ss+ 0:00.03 -csh
2015 p8 Ss+ 0:00.01 sh -c echo 'MYPASSWORD' | sudo -S diskutil repairPermis
2017 p8 S+ 0:00.44 diskutil repairPermissions /
2020 std Ss 0:00.02 login -pf eringraham
2021 std S 0:00.02 -bash
2023 std R+ 0:00.00 ps -a
inverted-urchin:~ user$

Still had to do the workaround for 4.7.2, for OS 10.2.8 Jaguar. Once you follow it step by step. the upgrade should be easy. Mr. Davis has a great App. Don't prejudge it because of a bad file, namely the preflight file.
I also read that the issue will be fixed as of 4.2.3 when its released.
Doesn't bode well for getting a resolution, does it?
