"This application cannot be installed on this computer"

For the above mentioned error message (appears right after I click 'buy', or 'free', for only some apps), I've already tried the proposed solutions of a re-install of the combo update 10.6.6, and the repair permissions of my hard drive. But neither helped. This matters brand new apps (no previous beta or demos installed). Any suggestions why they don't get installed? Is there anywhere a log that might help finding the problem source?

Folks, I got feedback from the developer (who got Apple feedback), saying that his software was set for only 64 bit Intels (mine is a 32 bit, yep first one He will now improve this with an update, as there is no restriction. So if you ever run into this error message, you might try to address the developers and find out if your old Intel should really be excluded.

  • Install error: "This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured.

    I need help with an error I am receiving. I'm on a Mac with OS X Mavericks. I just attempted to install the Photoshop Elements trial and, in attempting to open the "Install Adobe Download Assistant", I received this error:
    "Sorry, an error has occurred.
    This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-
    configured. Please contact the application author for assistance."
    I did attempt to download a new copy of the installer, with the same result.

  • This software cannot be installed on the computer/sibling link error

    I have been helping a friend overseas troubleshoot her computer.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1741148&tstart=0
    We are at the point where she was able to get her data off the drive and would now like to reinstall her system.
    She has a refurbished iBook which was running 10.4.11 with software updates. Her startup disks are in the states as she is in a village in Africa. She has borrowed disks which contain 10.4.8 and is receiving the message that +"This software cannot be installed on the computer."+ Would this be due to different versions and trying install an older OS onto a computer with a newer OS?
    She had a sibling link error on her hard drive, so we were able to recover data. I was hoping to reformat her hard drive to remove the error and reinstall the system. Would this error effect the installation process?
    Thank you.

    If this is an iBook model she will need to use a retail Tiger installer or the discs that came with her computer. She could try with Leopard if the iBook meets the requirements:

    I tried to download OS X Mavericks v 10.9.2 into my iMAC purchased on June 25, 2007 and upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.8    When I tried to download OS X Mavericks v 10.9.2 into my iMAC, the message  came up that it cannot be installed in my computer.   Why?

    Because there is a flaw in the App Store that gives you an alert you can never ever get rid of telling you to download Mavericks, even though when you click it then tells you your machine is too (I have to say 'darn' here because Apple automatically astersiks out the first word I used that also begins with d and is four letters) old.  So you have to live with that little  "1 update available" alert, though in reality, you cannot install it. You can imagine that either it is a sinister plot to wear away at you to buy some new hardware, even though yours is working just fine, or that it is a programming error Apple just doesn't care enough about to correct.

  • I keep receiving this error: "the application cannot be installed due to a certificate problem" when trying to update program that use adobe AIR (vudu-to-go)

    Can anyone tell me how I can get around this error? I've tried reinstalling adobe air and reinstalling the programs but neither works.

    This issue happens when an older version of Adobe Story is already installed on a system.
    To resolve this issue you will have to first remove that version and then install the latest one.
    Now depending upon which system you are using, below are the steps:
    MAC:
    Open 'Applications' folder in Finder.
    Move 'Adobe Story' application to Trash and remove it from Trash too.
    Just to make sure that this application is not installed on a different drive, do a search for 'Adobe Story' in spotlight. If it is present on a different location, then remove it from there too.
    Now log into story.adobe.com and download the desktop application again and install it.
    WINDOWS:
    Open Controls Panel and uninstall Adobe Story application
    Now log into story.adobe.com and download the desktop application again and install it

  • Air application cannot be installed after 2017

    Hi all,
    i had a problem a few months ago, developing an air
    application using the beta air runtime, because the runtime stopped
    working after a certain amount of time and the application could
    not be installed.
    Now i have installed version 1.1 of the runtime and have
    rebuilt the application using a self signed key and added a
    timestamp to it. Having the previous incident of the application
    that could not be installed i decided to put the computer clock in
    the future and check if the application would be installed using
    1.1. runtime.
    Well..., It does not after the 30th of October 2017. The same
    thing occurs with other applications as well. e.g. The adobe media
    player application.
    Is this normal?
    The application install log mentions an error : "Invalid
    package signature" errorid=5022.

    It might be due to the Root Certificate expires by 2017.
    This is normal.

    I am getting an error message when I try to install the trial version of Muse on a Mac OS X 10.8.2.
    What do I do? I have downloaded it several times over different days and I still get the same problem.

    Thank you there might still be some files left over from the previous installation.  You can try running the Cleaner tool to see if it can detect the previous installtion.  You can find directions on using this tool at CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
    Also how exactly are you installing Adobe Muse?  Can you please post the steps you are performing?  The error above is very similar to an error which can be received in the Adobe Download Assistant when trying to install an updated version on Mac OS 10.
