Manage updates with the Download AppPublisher's Description
From CharlesSoft:
Pacifist is an application for Mac OS X that opens up .pkg installer packages, .dmg disk images, .zip, .tar, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .pax, and .xar archives, and more, and lets you 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), if you experience bugs in Installer.app that mess up your symbolic links, or if you just like a little more control over the installation process. Pacifist can open some archive formats over HTTP, in case you want to download only one file from a large .zip archive without downloading the whole file. 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.
What's new in this version:
- Fixed a few crashing bugs
- Fixed a few minor bugs that could cause some packages not to load properly
- Fixed a bug that could cause RTFD files not to be viewable
- Other minor bug fixes

"Another "Finally!""
Version: Pacifist 3.0.9
Pros
Finally, an application that easily does what I've been trying to do for years!
Cons
Do I purchase Pacifist, or eat?
Summary
Every once in a while, an application/utility comes along that easily accomplishes something I've been hoping/trying/wanting to do for a long time, and Pacifist is surely one of these.
I have not explored the results yet, but the facility of extracting material from various installs is fantastic, and the interface is simple enough that even I can use it!
$20 for something I don't expect to use very often is a bit steep, but if I use Pacifist more than once, it's worth it to alleviate a pile of frustrations with a few clicks.
Pacifist has pacified me! -
"Great to fix programs, Example iTunes 11"
Version: Pacifist 3.0.9
Pros
Very quick to install and seems to fix issues associated with other programs and allows you in some cases to go back to a older version and some times a better version of a program that you were used to using. Example: iTunes 11
Cons
Not sure how it works is my only complaint.
Summary
Over all great easy way to fix various installations of newer and older products that don't seem to be working correctly. My advise is to turn off Automatic updates so this doesn't become more of an issue! A++++ Admin Tool!
