Thanks, Patrick and Gabe.
It sounds like we have a more serious problem than I'd thought. I
was under the impression that this only affected systems that had
once been running our beta software.
I'm escalating this now. If any of you are able to get system
profiles from affected machines, send them my way.
Thanks!

I should point out that while I participated in the beta, AFTER
FCS2's release I bought a new machine and did a clean install of
FCS2 and I had this problem (despite the fact that beta libraries
were never installed on this machine, nor did I migrate my user
account to it) - which was resolved by following instructions like
yours...

Hi, Steve,
CFBundleShortVersionString is set to 1.7.1 in both the
framework's Info.plist and version.plist files. And isn't the
PluginManager framework responsible for actually loading the
plugins? If so I would expect that Motion would be seeing the
same problems.
the problem is that you have an early beta of some shared
libraries, but the updater thinks that you have the latest
shipping versions, because it is looking at PluginManager's
version number. *Lowering* the version number from 1.7.1 to 1.7
will convince the ProAppsUpdater installer to update you to the
shipping version of these libraries, which Final Cut needs for
FxPlug hosting.
These libraries live in /Library/Frameworks, so you probably
didn't clean them out when you trashed the apps and reinstalled.
This was caused by a bug in our installer process; we've fixed
things so that it shouldn't happen again. But those who
participated in the 6.0.1 beta may need to do this extra step.
Please try the steps in my earlier message and let me know if they
work. Thanks!

Software Update is showing that I have all updates to date,
including FCP Update 6.0.1 and Motion Update 3.0.1. (Are they
part of the PAU2007-01 update?) When I did the ProApps reinstall
from the DVD, I trashed the applications as well as the various
receipt files to make sure updates would be reapplied.
Anything else you can think of for me to try?

Hi, Steve,
we've seen problems like this when upgrading an earlier beta of
Final Cut 6.0.1 to a later beta, or to the released version of
6.0.1. If your "bad system" ever had one of our betas on it,
this could be the culprit.
If you are in this situation, we have a pretty ugly workaround
to get you out of it:
1. Edit the file /Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/
Resources/Info.plist and change the value of
CFBundleShortVersionString to be 1.7.
2. Edit the file /Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/
Resources/version.plist and change the value of
CFBundleShortVersionString to be 1.7.
3. Run Software Update and install PAU2007-01.
Hope that helps,

I have a weird situation here. On one computer, several plugins
I've written plus some other third party plugins aren't showing
up in FCP, but they are showing up in Motion. No console
messages, either. I've even trashed all the ProApp applications
and reinstalled from the DVD with no difference. They -are-
showing up in both Motion and FCP running on a different computer.
Plugins are in ~/Library/Plug-Ins/FxPlug/ on both computers.
Bad system: Intel iMac running 10.4.10.
Good system Intel MacBook Pro running either 10.4.10 or 10.5.
Any thoughts from the FCP team or other knowledgeable folks?
