Use Starcraft on a case-sensitive HFS+ volume

Indeed, I incurred in this kind of problem when I tried to install Adobe Illustrator on a case-sensitive formatted hard drive with Leopard. The only solution has been to reformat the disk again as case-insensitive, and Illustrator installed OK. Similar problems I had with Neverwinter Nights, or the CS3 trial.

I second the comment on using a case-insensitive file system: I use a case sensitive file system for my Users portion of the hard disk (split in two partitions), though.
