Problems with Installer application

Hi!
Lately I've been having problems with Installer with several packages. Some pkgs install just fine, but others fail whenever they try to run some preflight or preinstall scripts.
My mac is new MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo shipped with 10.4.8. I think these problems might have started after some late Security Updates.
I've been doing maintenance tasks prediotically as well as repaired permissions and disk in single user mode. I've also tried to copy Installer from my Tiger install DVD's but with no luck.
Either system.log, console.log nor CrashReports don't show anything. Installer's own log just announces that install failed while running presomething-scripts. But when I run these scripts manually from Terminal, they work just fine without any errors.
I'm hopeless. I wish won't have to see the day coming when I'll have to do that so well known regular windows-like format and reinstall procedure with OS X. Sadly there's several packages I need to have installed, so if reinstall is the only solution please throw some backup and restore tips at me.
With kind regards,
Joona

The first package I noticed this problem with was DivX for Mac installer. The Installer's log pointed that installation failed while running the preflight script. The script is pretty long, but mainly just removes older version of DivX libraries and applications and when I run it from the shell, it works just fine.
I've also tried downloading it again along with another versions, but all the Installer fail at the same point. I've also tried to find some help to this problem from their forums, but it seems to me that I'm the only one having this problem.
Another package which I found failing is Missing Sync for Windows Mobile. I just ordered HTC TyTN -phone and tried to get Missing Sync working. Missing Sync itself installs correctly, but there's a application which comes bundled with MS called Mark/Space Notebook. The installer is multipackage installer and during the installation of M/S Notebook it fails while running preinstall script. The preinstall script is really simple, like this:
#!/bin/bash
rm -rf "/Applications/Mark:Space Notebook.app"
I haven't yet tried these packages on other Macs, but I'm positive they will work just fine. I believe that the problem must be either the Installer app, or something in my shell environment that makes it fail. Any ideas what could it be?
When searching help from this forum first to this problem I ran into post that indicated the same problem and the fix for that was recreating admin/root account. Although I am pretty familiar with *BSD and UNIX systems, I didn't quite get what was meant by that. As far as I know the root account can't be easily recreated?

I'm not certain that Mageia 2 Linux is supported. This Release Notes page and this Install Help page don't mention Mageia, just

Problem with installation and activation

Hi, I have a problem with the installation of Adobe Muse.
I had a free 30-days trial, when it was over I bought the product ($ 13 per month),
I installed the program again and I see the same window with the finished Trials

I installed the program on your PC wife without any problems, but I can not install it on a laptop.
I have a laptop with Windows 8 operating system.
What I've done:
1. Uninstalled the free program,
2. check the connection to the Internet,
3. has installed a new program from the official website adobe.com,
4. Remove the line for the activation of the hosts file and resave the file,
5. turned off the brandmower,

I can't get support for a 3 days, is it the most terrible support I've ever seen? I dunno

Re: Hey, I had met a problem with installation. Can any one help me?
This worked for an English version and the concept should work with all Adobe programs - new or old (hopefully in any language). My guess is that you have/had an older version of Acrobat/Reader on your computer hard drive that needs to be *completely* removed first. Uninstall the new (and any old) Acrobat; then try using the "kb2..." guideline link below before reinstalling the new Acrobat. I am including the lengthy instructions in order to help others with more extensive installation problems. Good luck!
I live on a fixed income and use CS for a hobby. I had problem installing Adobe Creative Suite (CS1) to Windows 7 64-bit Pro on my new computer. Also installed Adobe Photoshop LR3. What I learned: All Adobe products (Flash, Acrobat/Reader, Photoshop, Creative Suites, etc.) leave a VERY pervasive footprint on your hard drive. Logic finally worked for me.... think of building a house; there is an order you have to do things in. First, you have to clean the area before laying the foundation; then you have to build the framework before you put the roof on. You cannot install an older program over ANY newer program; and you will sometimes have a problem installing a newer program containing Flash, Reader, etc. unless you "erase" the older versions of Flash, Reader beforehand. If installing older programs, do a Custom/Manual install; do not install older versions of Flash, Reader, etc. packaged with your Adobe software.
SOLUTION (not easy, but it works):
I first tried this; it did not solve my problem (but, if applicable, may help others). http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Win dows
Before doing anything, make document and any database/presets/cache back-ups beforehand (keep notes on their designated location*); manually create a System Restore point. (Be prepared to reinstall Windows if necessary - I didn't have to.)
Completely and meticulously eradicate (clean) your hard drive of ALL Adobe programs [uninstall, remove remaining folders, and remove only the registry entries that have the Adobe name attached (unless you are an expert and fully understand the other entries)]. Use this as a guideline http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/400/kb400769.html
Do a Custom/Manual reinstall of all your Adobe products *in order of release dates* (OLDEST first).... do not include Reader, Flash, etc. If your CD will not automatically run at this point, click "Open folder to view files" (use Computer/Windows Explorer, if necessary). Click "Adobe Creative Suite (or your desired program) ==> Setup.exe" (IMPORTANT: Make sure that Reader, Flash, etc. are unchecked.)
After each of your desired Adobe programs are installed, test to insure they boot up. Then download the latest Reader, Flash, etc. apps and install them (I did this in order of release date - oldest first). Do test boot(s) again.
Copy/Paste your document and any database/presets/cache back-ups into the appropriate folders (*this will vary depending on your programs and your filing system).
It has been four weeks and all my Adobe programs work flawlessly - system is stable, no problems!

N95 problem with ''Help'' application

Dear all,
I've update recently my N95 with new software release 20.0.015, but the problem with help application is not resolved...The problem is the following: when I try to open HELP I receive the error message MEMORY FULL, but my free RAM is 23/24 MB and the free memory on the device is 112 MB. Can you help me to resolve this problem?
Thanks

I have the same problem - no in any applications or using the Help application itself.
Of possible interest ?>: is a 'help folder' I have with a name displayed in the Help application as 4x boxes.
Using: -Menu -Tools -Utilities -Help
...I have an odd looking file listed at the end (after 'ZipManager' & before '3-D ringing tones'). The name is displaying as 4 x boxes - presumably non display characters ?>
Is this folder on all N95s ? (i.e even those with a working Help) ?
Anyone know how/where to locate this folder ?

I have problems with installed applications

I have problems with installed applications, I used to work correctly, but yesterday it just stopped working all run which came by default. could tell me I have to do to eliminate this problem?

Try downloading another app - any free app is fine. See if that resets the other apps and allows them to work again.

I'm having problems with JavaFX applications run on raspberry pi!

I'm having problems with JavaFX applications run on raspberry pi. I did all the steps of the videos of the course: overclocking, uncommented what I had to uncomment about the framebuffer but Exceptions are still happening. The Fireworks demo example does not work. Someone went through this problem? Java applications are ok. As the versions of java in netbeans project and also on "properties" and they are all JDK 8. So if someone can give a hint, I'm very grateful!

Can you provide the exceptions you got so I can help you better?
Would you like to do a coaching session for this?
