Damaged Installer for Mac OS X Lion

I have tried numerous times to install Adobe Flash Player (versions 10.3.183.5 & 11.0.1.152) on Mac OS X Lion.  Every time the installer proceeds to approximately 5% completion, then fails with the following message:
The installation failed.  Get support.
From searching other threads I found the recommendation to run the uninstaller package, then download and re-run the latest installer package.  The uninstaller package runs fine, but the installer fails again.  Another thread recommends to control-click the Install Adobe Flash Player Application, then Show Package Contents, then open the Contents/Resources folder to find the Adobe Flash Player package.  When I try to run this package I receive the follwoing error message:
The Installer is damaged.  The Installer can't open the package.  There may be a problem with file ownership or permissions.
I have tried downloading the installer different times from both the Adobe website and download.cnet.com with no success.  This is a factory install of Lion and I have installed several other applications on this Mac with no problems.  I have installed JRE and ensured that that the Flash Player plugins are not currently installed in my Internet Plugins folder of my Library and the core Library.  I have installed Google Chrome and flash runs fine with it's flash player plugin.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I cleared my cache by using the Safari/Reset Safari menu item (which deletes a lot of stuff), cleaned out my downloads folder, then emptied the trash.  I used the direct link to the Mac installer listed in the linked article.  Same result for both methods of opening the installed package.  I checked the file information for the installer downloaded and it showed the most recent download time for the version 11 installer.
Also, just for grins, I downloaded the installer using Chrome.  No luck that route either.

    Do I have to pay twice for MAC OS X Lion for my iMac and MAC Air?

    No. You can install Lion on all systems you own from a single purchase. Either copy the installer before you run it on the first system and transfer it to the other system, or purchase and download it on one system, then log into the App Store on the second system go to the Purchased tab and you'll be able to download the installer again without charge.
    Regards.

  • Is there any way to create an installer for Mac OS and Linux OS once a stand alone application is created?

    Is there any way to create an installer for Mac OS and Linux OS once a stand alone application is created?  I have created an executable application that I want to distribute to Mac and Linux users (different applications were created in the respective OS).  I was wondering if there is any way to create an installer?  I think there probably isn't...  If the user were to simply download the Labview Run-time Engine from ni.com would they be able to run the application or is it more complicated than that?
    Thanks so much for your time.

    I think Shane tried to say, that it is on the Mac OS X installation DVD, NOT the LabVIEW for Mac OS X installation medium. And that could very well have changed in recent Mac OS X versions as well. They used to have Xcode on it too, but that seems gone as well.

    Hello,
    It isn't the fw in Network you want o use or look at, that's for something completely different.
    My first suspect is the Power Adapter on the LaCie has gone.
    At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware>Firewire, what is listed there?
    Reset the Firewire bus
    If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device.  A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible in 10.4 was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:
    1. Shut the machine down.
    2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive or devices.
    3. leave it for 10 minutes.
    4. Connect back up and reboot.

  • Do i need to backup my information before installation of Mac os x lion? I know I should always back up, but what i'm asking is will my information be there, or is it a totally clean install? Will my information have to be transfered?

    Do i need to backup my information before installation of Mac os x lion? I know I should always back up, but what i'm asking is will my information be there, or is it a totally clean install? Will my information have to be transfered?

    When I installed Lion all of my files were intact and where I left them, and I did not back up my Mac, however having seen some of the problems some people are coming across when installing Lion I would recommend backing up before you install (just to be on the safe side).
    Hope this helps!

  • How to download  iwork for mac os x lion for free?

    how to download  iwork for mac os x lion for free?

    The iWork apps are not freeware, and they no longer have Trial Versions as they did before the appearance of the Mac App Store. But, they are so inexpensive that they really don't need trial versions, and they are much more sophisticated than what we would expect to get at no cost. Once you purchase an iWork app on one Mac device, you can download additional copies for your other computers at no additional charge.

  • Installation problems for Adobe Director 11.5 for Mac OS X Lion

    I've downloaded other Adobe products from this site before, like Photoshop Lightroom, etc. There were no problems concerning installation with that. But when I downloaded the Adobe Director 11.5 for Mac recently, the process of installation stops in the middle of installing it. I thought there was just something wrong with the file I downloaded, so I downloaded it again, and again. But every time I try to install it to my Macbook Pro, it gets stuck at the exact same place. What's wrong with it?
    Also, I tried downloading a Windows based Adobe Director. And it said the trial period is for 90 days. But when I activated it, it only registered as a trial for 30 days. Can you please help me with this? I badly need it for my schoolwork.
    Thank you in advance!

    I'm having the same problem - I can't install on my Mac running OSX 10.8.2. I was having trouble with an existing installation of Director 11.5. I was hoping a fresh install may solve the problem, but the installer freezes at about 75% complete.
    Hey Adobe - just put us out of our missery already and either fix Director or officially announce it's been abandoned!
