Hey guys, deployment went smooth, not to many issues, kids are happy.

I have one minor problem. iMovie won't show itself. For some odd reason it launches and the menus are there but the application window won't show up.

Has anyone else had this issue? I would like to not have to reinstall iLife 11 on all these machines!

I've deleted preferences and reinstalled just the app and it still does the same thing. (Also deleted quicktime plugins)

After many weeks of getting everything ready my brain is fried so I am asking for help on this, I can't seem to fix it

Thanks guys

    I can't speak to iMovie but I remember a similar issue with iPhoto if the
    Helvetica Neue font from Apple was replaced with a different version.

    More on the iMovie error and as more people need to deploy 10.7.2 you should know about it

    The problem is that when you image 10.7.2 then install ilife after you could overwrite a file somewhere in the system folder. That goes for either a package that I made that combined iMovie in one package and also a composer dmg that I create. I think it has to do with some old resources over writing some system file.

    To fix this issue was to install 10.7.2 client combo overtop of 10.7.2 and iMovie after restart shows up.

    I can now let my hair grow back now!

    Cheers
