Can't install 10.5.4 update: Setup freezes at: "configuring installation"

Hi, I have just finished downloading the Mac OS X 10.5.4 update and when I try to install, it freezes at "Configuring Installation". I have tried to relaunch the installation a few times but in vain.
What should I do?
Thanks in advance.
Mathieu.

I have done a hard reboot while it was "configuring installation" and didn't get any problems, now I don't know for "running installer script", but I don't think it will compromise your OS.
I have call a friend who is Apple Certified and he told me that a lot of people are experiencing this kind of problem and that it is usually OK when you re-download the update: http://supportdownload.apple.com/download.info.apple.com/AppleSupport_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/Mac_OSX/downloads/061-4758.20080626.vfgp9/MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.4.dmg
So, I am re-downloading and there is 53.26% left (about 2 hours left with my connection!!)! Will let you know ASAP.

Updates Keep Freezing on Configure Installation

Hi, I am having a problem with my updates on my mac mini. I am running 10.5.2. The problem I seem to be having is that when I try to install my updates, for example the new Safari and security update. It will download and tell me I have to restart my computer. I do that then it just freezes on configure installation. It has done it to me three times and this last time I let it sit for 7 hours while I was at work. I then have to hold my power button down to restart the mac and after that it works fine but without the updates. I really hope someone can help me and thank you in advance for anyone with any suggestions.

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
first thing to try is to insert the OSX Leopard DVD and restart while holding down the 'C'-key.
Then Choose Your Language and you are greeted with the OSX Installation Screen (no worry).
Fom the Top Menu - choose 'Utilities' and then 'Disk Utility'.
Let Disk Utility run its Repair routines (repair permissions; repair volume).
Repeat these repairs until there are no more errors reported.
Good Luck
Stefan

Can't install 14.1.0 update on my Mac Lion, 10.7.5.

Hi there,
I can't install 14.1.0 update package on my Mac Lion, the version is 10.7.5, My Office for Mac 2011 version is 14.0.0, it always tell me: "Office 2011 14.1.0 Update can't be installed on this disk. A version of software required to install this update was not found on this volume." I read the threads about installing update package failed and reinstall Office follow: http://www.office.mvps.org/install/reinstall_office2011.html, but, I can't install update package still.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot for your answer first.

Actually, I have one hard disk drive only and there are two partitions on it, and I installed Mac 10.6 and Office 2011 on partition 1 and installed Mac 10.7 on partition 2 recently, is it the point of the issue?
I removed the Office 2011 installed at partition 1 by running "Remove Office 2011 Uninstaller.pkg" introduced in the "http://www.office.mvps.org/install/reinstall_office2011.html", after did this, I can't install 14.1.0 update package still, the problem is same.

I can't install 10.6.3 update on my computer (windows 7 corei3)

I can't install 10.6.3 update on my computer (windows 7 corei3), have uninstalled, retried several times and now have no itunes!! . Help appreciated. thanks

Thats what me and the guy on the phone thought, he tried tking
Me through it, he then said, actually, there is only
Support for mac users on the site aswell, as he was trying to direct me to email support aswell, though he then realised that gettin support on the apple express is now just for mac too
I cant complete the install of iTunes 10.6.3, no.
As cant many other windows 7 users.
But it does install so much that its useable, but doesnt fully install and doesnt complete mobile device application at all, so i cant sync or even connecty iPhone to itunes.
The message reads pretty much the same as this one posted earlier
"The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured
Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified"

Can't install latest version of itunes. "Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified." Help?

I had this, and after a large number of fruitless attempts, I had to reload Windows, which solved it. This was of course a real pain, but I had to do it since updating iTunes was necessary in order to get the new iOS version. But before doing such a drastic thing, you could try to restore Windows to a previous point in time by picking a restore point. This of course presumes that you really have some issues with your Windows (which I had) and that you can make a decent guess on when the system was ok (which I couldn't), i.e that you can decide a good date to restore to.

How can I install Adobe Photoshop Elements Update 9.0.3 after I get a message that Installation has failed and the solution is not in troubleshooting or forums?

My Photoshop Elements 9 stopped working a couple of weeks ago. When I clicked the PSE button nothing happened. I tried this several times over a few days and it still failed. I uninstalled the program and re-installed it. It worked well. Then I tried to install the Update 9.0.3. The download was almost successful. When it was about to show 100% successful for the download, an error message said the installation had failed and that I should try later. I tried this many times over a few days and the same result occurred. I tried troubleshooting and the answers to questions, but I could not find an answer. I don't know where to go to see if anybody has answered my question. How can I install Update 9.0.3?

Try downloading and installing the 9.0.3 updater from here:

Can't install 10.5.1 update! help please!

hi
i have written a post before but it is still unresolved.
i have installed the leopard os last week (erase and install) i can't run software update and the manual 110MB updater doesn't work, instead i get this message:
+"You cannot install Mac OS X Update on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."+ i also get the same message when i try to install the keychain update.. my startup disk has a free space of 25GB and i have fixed the disk's permissions before running the installer..
please help me to solve this.
thanks

If you have more than one account now (e.g., one created during the install, and one/more restored from a back up), have you tried installing the combo (110 MB) update from the account you created during the erase & install (the very first admin account created)? If not, try logging into that account and try installing the combo update and see if the problem goes away. Then do a permissions repair (it might take a while).
