Nikon Distortion Control Data 2009 OS X install problem

fmarmo

I can't install the nikon S-DCDATA-002009MF-ALLIN-32BIT_.dmg in OS X 10.11.1 El Capitan.
Other have encountered the same trouble in installation?

Kind Regards

Nikon is notorious for being slow to update software with new OS support. At this point you're basically hooped.

hooped is a technical term

All the install does is copy a file named NKLD02009.BIN to a folder named Nikon on your desktop. Then you copy that file to the top level/root directory of a SD/CF memory card to install to the camera. Make sure you have the correct firmware version on your camera, and it supports the version 2 of the distortion data at all. What camera and firmware version do you have @fmarmo?

You can either 1) talk a friend into a computer (windows or mac) to run the app for you and then extract the BIN file to your card or 2) I can tell you how to find and extract the BIN file from the .dmg file you already have.

Hello Ironheart,
I have a D810 with the latest C 1.10 fw.
I already searched in the installer package the location BIN file without solution.
If you tell me the path I will make me happy.

Okay, first of all I want to say if you brick your camera it's not my fault
I'm still trying to fix the installer script so that other folks can run it. For now, if you go to the following directory (assuming you mount the dmg in the default location)
cd /Volumes/S-DCDATA-002009MF-ALLIN-32BIT_/Packages/Distortion Control Data.pkg/Contents
And then grab the file
Archive.pax.gz
I copied the file to my desktop:
cp Archive.pax.gz /Users/<login_name>/Desktop/
I then doubled-clicked the zip file, and it created a folder called "tmp" which two levels down has the .BIN file. Reply back if you can't find it
