Our solution is to provide instructions to the user to completely uninstall our product before upgrading the OS.
Thanks again Howard and Ryan!

Hmmm, interesting point! But... how has this scenario traditionally been handled? Certainly there are apps out there that have become obsolete after an OS update, right? The apps can't detect the update as it occurs, and may simply fail when executed. Not sure how one fails gracefully in such a case. Is there an Apple "standard" for such things?
Thanks,
Howard
