Adobe CS 5.5 Installation on 10.6.8 - ERROR

Question

Hi everybody,
want to install CS 5.5 on an iMac running 10.6.8. On the iMac the CS 5 is running without any errors. Have mounted the CS 5.5 Image on the Client, and when opening the "Installer.app" it comes up with an error:
"Failed to initialize" and suggest du run an Adobe Tool for analyzing the installation. Did it, and the tools said "Everything is OK, you can install"
Here is the error in the PDapp.log:

Any suggetions for clearing that SQL error?

Try following steps -
1) Drag folder '/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/PDApp' to desktop - (just to preserve a copy to restore if need be)
2) Now trash the folder '/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/PDApp' - (provide the credentials when asked)
3) Run the CS 5.5 installer. See if it runs fine.
