A little a goes a long way
by Volker Weber
Usually I am full of praise for Sonos. But now they have committed a major no-no. The Sonos Desktop Controller 2.5 does not install on Leopard. You can upgrade to Leopard with Sonos installed, but a fresh install fails. If you download the latest version however, you get a silent upgrade, which fixes the problem. Both versions call themselves 2.5 but the build number goes from 8646171 to 8646171a. Small change you might think, but it makes all the difference for Leopard users.
It's good to have the new version, but Sonos should make it clear that you need to get the latest to make it work on Leopard.

The same here. One Mac runs Leopard (upgraded), with Sonos Desktop Controller Build 8646171. If you run the integrated update search, the Leopard Mac says "no update required".
Another Mac runs Tiger, with SDC Build 8646171a. It was upgraded to this Build via the integrated update search.
