Pacifist 3.2.17 Download
Pacifist opens up .pkg installer packages, .dmg disk images, .zip, .tar. tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .pax, and .xar archives and more, and lets you extract or install individual files out of them. This is useful if you need to install just one file out of a package instead of the entire package (for example, if you deleted your Preview application and need to reinstall it, but not the whole operating system), or if you want to inspect a downloaded package to see what it will do before installing it. Pacifist can also load some archive types over HTTP, in case you want to extract just a single file from a large .zip archive without waiting for the entire archive to download. Finally, Pacifist can examine the kernel extensions installed in your system to let you see what installer installed them, and whether the installer was made by Apple or a third-party.

Limnos...I'm running into another wall it seems. I downloaded Pacifist and had an old 3.2.15 version which I tried to use then the 3.2.17 version thereafter and when I used both methods for unpacking the dmg file in Pacificist either the drag-n-drop method or the open a package button on it's interface, I get an inoperable "greyed-out" Install arrow button on the top left corner. And I don't know if it matters, but those Toolbar buttons aren't colored in the 3.2.+ versions.
So I tried the 3.2.17 and it didn't work, so I had an old 3.2.15 version and that didn't work, but I have an Early-2011 MBP 17" A1297 MC725LL/A which has 64-bit Intel Core i7 2720QM Sandy Bridge so under those Pacifist requirements it should have worked. So I tried the older version 3.0.10 for the **** of it and that did it successfully with no problems. I got a little worried there, but managed to squeeze in the install. Thanks for all your prompt replies man, I definitely appreciate it ?
