Error when installing 10.6.3 Combo update

Hi,
I wondered if anyone can help me. I have Snow Leopard running on my new this year iMac 21". Software Update had been working fine until April when the 10.6.3 update came out. The update downloaded but when it tries to install it Validates and then Writes to disk, but then when the progress bar is about a half of the way across I get an error saying that it could not install. "The installation failed. The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance." I have tried this several times with exactly the same message. I have tried downloading the update manually and installing from Mac OS but I get the same error message just in a nicer Application Install window!
Any suggestions?

I hope you have a valid back-up or even better a Time Machine back-up. One of my friends reported what sounds like Identical issues with the Install stopping. He was told he will need to do an erase and install, and then restore his documents and Apps by a Senior Tech on their help line. Good luck!
Oh and 10.6.4 was released last Wednesday 6/16/10.

Update Operation Fatal Error when installing Technical Preview Build 10041 Upgrade

I posted this in the Microsoft Community forums and was redirected here.
Below is the original post (URL: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_install/update-operation-fatal-error-when-installing/6eaff1b9-0223-4357-afc8-884382590e82 )
Hello,
In trying to perform an upgrade install of the Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 10041 (as is the latest available for direct download as of my writing), I am running into a problem I cannot find mention of anywhere else on the web.
I fall into two categories with regards to this build: A) Product tester who actually needs to test application performance under Windows 10 on bare metal, B) Semi-crazy techie who loves using (usable) beta software as his primary environment ;)
so it is rather important to me that I get this working on my machine in some non-virtualized respect. I am reluctant to do a full/fresh install if installation problems are happening, because my Windows 8 product key has been f***ed up from the
start (likely some random database corruption) and I've had to utilize phone support to get around an "unknown error" the last two times I've had to use it. So, for fear of that key completely crapping out on me, I don't want to move to Win10 unless
I'm confident it will install and I can stick with it (for better or worse) through the end. Problems within the Preview after I install it I can deal with.
So, I first tried to install the Preview through the standard Windows Update method. The installer took about 7 hours (but from reading lots of internet discussions, stupidly long install times in that range seem to be a common problem with
this builds separate from it actually failing). During the reboot between the "Setting up Devices" (Or is it Setting up Drivers? I forget) and "Taking Care of a Few More Things" (Again, possibly paraphrased), for about a split second, underneath
the Windows logo and throbber, some error like this appeared:
Fatal Error Performing Update Operation # of ##: ERROR CODE
It only appeared for a fraction of a second, and I had no chance of reading the precise numbers or error.
However, the installer then seemed to continue, and went until the main circle was at 100%. As soon as 100% hit, however, the screen went black for something like 30min. Then, I briefly saw "Attempting to recover installation" before "Restoring
your previous version of Windows." And I was, quite impressively considering how far along that installer was, back in Windows 8.1 completely unharmed.
I tried again by burning an ISO and doing a disc upgrade install. I let that one run overnight and was asleep for the error, but I was back in Win8.1 in the morning, so I can only assume a similar thing happened there.
As for my system specs, I'm running on a MacBook Pro 9,1 under Boot Camp. I am upgrading from Windows 8.1.2 Pro with Media Center. I have found other online accounts of people quite successfully installing Windows 10 on Macs, so that isn't the issue.
Does anyone have any clue as to what this error might have been/be, and how I might fix it? Or at least have it on good authority that a fresh installation would be unaffected (meaning it's software-related)? If not, I can try installing to a VHD,
which would at least let me product test on bare metal, but wouldn't have the harddrive space to be my daily driver and would probably only get used occasionally.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
So far, I have the yet-to-be-tried idea of a clean boot prior to installation.
If anyone here has any more specific ideas, lemme hear 'em.
Thanks!

To the individual who proposed this as an answer to my problem: It's not even applicable. I specifically stated that I was trying to avoid doing a clean installation (at least without knowing more about the problem at hand). An answer saying to do the thing
you're trying to avoid doing is not an answer. You can see my last reply for the current status of this issue. 6-8 hour blocks of time in which I can't use my computer (as is required to install build 10041) aren't super common for me, but I haven't abandoned
this thread. There have simply been no more updates. If your motivation as a mod was that you simply don't like there being unanswered threads on this forum, then perhaps you could attempt to contribute rather than arbitrarily marking the first reply as an
answer.
I will continue to update this thread as I try new things and get more information.
Thank you.

Error message while trying to run combo update

I get the following error message when trying to run the combo update.
"You cannot install Mac OS X Update Combined on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
I tried with both 10.5.7 and 10.5.8 and I get the same message.
Any suggestions?

1. Be sure you have downloaded the 10.5.8 Combo Installer.
2. Verify that you have 10.5.x installed by opening About this Mac from the Apple menu. The installed version should be displayed.
3. Do the following:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Errors when installing Oracle Client 10.2.0.2.0 on zLinux (Red Hat)

I am receiving errors when installing Oracle Client 10.2.0.2.0 (Administrator) on zLinux. During the install I receive two notifications for File Not Found when the installer tries to create the link for lib32/libclntsh.so.10.1. I hit ignore on the pop-ups and the install completes. The Oracle Net Configuration Assistant then fails to launch with the following error:
Output generated from configuration assistant "Oracle Net Configuration Assistant":
Command = /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin/netca /orahome /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1 /orahnam Oracle_home /instype custom /inscomp client,oraclenet,ano /insprtcl tcp /cfg local /authadp NO_VALUE /nodeinfo NO_VALUE /responseFile /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/network/install/netca_clt.rsp

The "/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/cfgtoollogs/configToolFailedCommands" script contains all commands that failed, were skipped or were cancelled. This file may be used to run these configuration assistants outside of OUI. Note that you may have to update this script with passwords (if any) before executing the same.
I have seen multiple threads relating to very similar errors, but none of the fixes that were suggested have worked. I have double checked the required Red Hat packages and made sure they were all installed on the server. All of the prerequisite checks for the installer are successful. Any assistance would be of most helpful!

Worked with my Linux system admin and figured out that we were indeed missing some packages. There are 390 and 390x rpm's for Red Hat on System Z, i.e. 64 bit and 32 bit versions. Since we are running a 64 bit os some of those 32 bit packages did not get installed. Since our roles are split up, I am kind of blind as to the OS setup so I was not able to catch the problem. It is truly puzzling as to why Oracle would need 32 bit packages even though Oracle client is 64 bit. Regardless, after adding the 32 bit rpm's the installer was able to perform the linking operation that was failing, and the network configuration script ran successfully.

Error when Installing Eax-console as part of Audigy support pack 3.6

<div class="lia-component-body lia-message-body">Hey there, out of nowhere I have the following problem:
I have used several versions of this audigy support Pack up to now, both in Windows XP and Windows 7 RC and all worked fine for me. Most recently I used 3.5 and 3.6 in both OS for a short time.
now I had to format my harddisk an have installed a clean version of Win XP SP3. I installed an update pack (winboard.org), the latest direct X and drivers for nvidia motherboard and videocard. Then, when I tried to install this support pack, I get an error messagge I-00 when eax-console should have been installed, something about CTengine being unable to be installed.
I read through many of the solutions here in the forum, since this error seems to be not so rare. But up to now, nothing helped. This is, what my install.log tells me:
[EAX Console]
GUID={5B7E626-7885-4FC3-A66A-73548A4F0FD}
Warning=I-008 CTRegSvr fails to register C:\Programme\Creative\EAX\Karaoke.exc.
[Common Audio Driver Interface]
GUID={700932B3-A964-4878-82A2-96054622AF7}
Warning=I-007 RegSvr32 fails to un-register C:\Programme\Creative\ShareDLL\CADI\ctcadi.dll.
All other install.log from the other parts of the pack contain no warning. Everything except the EAX-console works fine, if I try to start that, I get an error "No components are registered", an I don't have a "karaoke" register, but otherwise it works well, I can use the effects and cmss.
What the heck could I do?
I made an new thread, since nobody seamed to react to my post in the support pack thread.

HRe: Error when Installing Eax-console as part of Audigy support pack 3.6o What you have is a missing file, or perhaps your system is wanting to install direct X redistributable or something similar. Do a search on your system for install.log and when you find the newest one, or second to newest one, open it with notepad. It will tell you exactly what you are missing. I was trying to install some components for my Elite Pro and it said in the install.log that it could not find DXREDIST. So I copied a version I had to the installing program's folder and it worked!? So take a look at that log and see what is missing......write back with your results if you dont mind. In the original post I had seen the registration problems with components. You can manually run regsvr32 with the /? switch and see how to unregister that yourself and then try the installation again.

HELP ! Got a 'Error' when installing 10.4.6, NOW nothing ahahhaahaaha

Has anyone got any ideas how to fix this please.
Here's the story, went to check for 'Software updates', got the message that there was a New version ( 10.4.6 ). Clicked on install, left it to do it's thing.
I think it got to the 'Optimising' part then a nice Big message appreared saying
"ERROR" when installing. Now I have a sort of Dead Mac. All I have is the Gray screen with the Apple icon in the middle and a spinning wheel thing. Nothing else. I had loads of space on H/D to install and there was no interuption in network while downloading.
Any ideas please.
Has this happened to anyone else ?
Steve ( uk )

I fixed mine, but it wasn't fun Other people have had luck using other macs, or an external firewire drive. I didn't have any of that, so got thigs back using just the osx dvd (oh, you can also do an archive and install... dunno exactly wat that preserves, and what it doesn't, but I didn't want to trust anything like that, and wanted to learn what went wrong).
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2081623#2081623
That link details what I did to repair. My mini has worked perfectly since. I am not aware of anyone else trying that method though apart from myself.
Good luck.

Error - 1607: Unable to Install InstallShield Scripting Run Time
Update to the Latest InstallShield Installation Engines
http://knowledge.macrovision.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=Q108322&sliceId=1
When running into installation issues, it is always recommended that you use the latest InstallShield installation engines. This article contains steps on how to download and install the latest InstallShield engines for the installation version you are trying to install.
What to do?
Follow the Troubleshooting steps below:
Determine if the installation is compressed or uncompressed.
Launch Windows Explorer by pressing the Windows key + E or select Start > Run and type explorer.
Browse to the location of the installation files. For example, if the installation is on a CD, browse to the CD-ROM drive.
Search for the installation file. The typical names for installation files are setup.exe, update.exe, installer.exe, etc.
If the installation file is the only file in the directory (a single installation file), continue with the remaining suggestions in Step 1. Otherwise, if there are other files in the same directory as the installation file, continue to Step 2.
When a single installation file is run, it uncompresses the installation files into a temporary location (usually the Temp directory). Use these steps to find the installation in the temporary location:
Start the single installation file, but do not continue or cancel the installation dialogs.
Browse to the Temp directory. For further information on how to find the Temp directory, see Clean the Temp Directory.
Search for the installation file. The typical names for installation files are setup.exe, update.exe, installer.exe, etc. The uncompressed installation file should contain other files in the same directory. Continue with step 2.
Right-click on the installation file that you are trying to install and select Properties.
In the Properties dialog, click on the Version tab.
Look at the File Version field to determine the version number of the InstallShield engine you need. Follow the instructions for your version. If you started the installation in Step 1d, cancel it.

I don't know much about the 10g Releases yet but I had the same error with 9.0.2.3. The problem is that OID isn't available when it needs to be.
When you get the error, start OID using the command line then try running the config assistant again.

TS3212 I get an apple application support error when installing itunes. It says uninstall and re-install. Does not work. same message. What is a solution?

I get an apple application support error when installing itunes. It says uninstall and re-install. Does not work. same message. What is a solution?

Is that an error 2 message?
If so, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
