Hello again . . .
Yes, I had that weirdness, too. I just manually installed the conduit. I moved all the conduits out of the folder on my Mac in to another folder called 'Disabled Conduits', except for the Install and Backup conduits, then copied over the two files off the CD (under Value Pack:Hotsync Conduits, I think) to the Conduits folder.
Then call up the Conduit Manager from within the Hotsync manager and make sure everything shows up.
