iPatch and NuclearMouse Incompatible

When trying to install some software updates deployed using iPatch, I found that the updater(s) would display their license/readme sheet and then exit as soon as the sheet was closed, presenting only for a second the usual ‘select application’ dialog that we’re all used to. It turns out that NuclearMouse was to blame – as soon as I disabled it, iPatch applications worked again!

So, a hint to those with similar issues: disable (or uninstall) NuclearMouse before running iPatch update programs. To do so, simply drag the NuclearMouse.bundle out of your SIMBL plugins directory.

Update (2009.10.20): By popular request, I’ve uploaded a copy of NuclearMouse sent to me by Peter C. of Genie Logic. If the original author is out there and would like me to remove it, I will; until then, it will remain available here. Please note that it’s not compatible with 64-bit applications, so it’s pretty much useless to anyone with a modern mac on Mac OS 10.6 or later. Download NuclearMouse

  • Unfortunately, I don’t. Sorry!

  • Too bad, the internet shows to be a great (partial) archive. The NuclearMouse is mentioned everywhere and all over, but nowhere a download to be found. :-/ Thanks for replying though.

    I haven’t tried in yet on snow leopard. Hope it works.
