What software are you trying to install?

Lion Install Failed "The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."

Not a comforting message to see...
Here are the errors just before the above message is emitted and the install ends.

If I boot to the "Recovery HD" I get a message "Installation Failed, Try re-intalling" Which would be a fine idea, but I can't because if I re-start installation from the hard drive I get the above errors.
I've burned the "InstallESD.img" to a DVD, but it also doesn't seem to work. Comes up as though I'm in the Reco

Jen,
Here's what I did to get Lion installed:
Burn the installer to a DVD and install from there. It worked for me. Here's what you need to do:
First you need another computer running at least 10.6.8.
1. On the other computer go to 'App Store' (make sure you're logged in to the App Store with the AppleID you used on the troubled computer)
2. Click on 'Purchased' in the 'App Store' window's toolbar
3. If you are on 10.6.8, and haven't downloaded Lion on that computer just click "Install" to download the installation application.
3. a, if the other computer is already running Lion, you'll need to re-download the installer.
3. b. Hold down 'Option' when selecting 'Purchased' then you click "Install"
4. When the Lion Installer starts up, just quit it. You want to work with the Installer application.
5. Find the "Install Lion OS X" application in the 'Applications' folder.
6. Hold down 'Control' and click on the application and select 'Show Package Contents'
7. Find 'InstallESD.dmg' which is in the "Shared Support" folder and copy it to your desktop.
8. Burn 'InstallESD.dmg' to a DVD ('Disk Utility' is simplest to do this).
9. Put the new install DVD into the computer that has Lion partially installed and reboot holding down the "C" key.
10. run the installer as normal, selecting your harddrive as the target.
In my case, when it rebooted to the harddisk the Lion installer started AGAIN. If this happens, let it run. Then you should be done.
Hope this helps.

You should be able to install Mac OS X 10.7 or later on your 2011 MacBook Pro without issue, if it came with 10.6.3 as your signature suggests. Mind you, any 2011 MacBook Pro must use the original 10.6 installer disc labelled MacBook Pro if it desires to have 10.6 installed on it. The retail installer disc will not work on that model, nor will one from another age MacBook Pro, or other model labelled installer. Also
10.7 came both on USB Flash drive and Mac App Store installer versions. Both required either 10.6.6 minimum be pre-installed, or no Mac OS X operating system on the drive or partition it was to be installed on.
10.7.1 through 10.7.5 combo could be installed only once 10.7 had been installed. A combo update is available for installing on top of any version of 10.7. Otherwise only the preceding version could be updated to the next.
10.8 came only on Mac App Store installer. It is available only to 10.6.8 and later users.
10.8.1 to 10.8.5 combo could be installed only once 10.8 had been installed. A combo update is available for installing on top of any version of 10.8. Otherwise only the preceding version could be updated to the next.
10.9 came only on Mac App Store installer. It is available only to 10.6.8 and later users.
Both 10.9 and 10.9.1 had a serious security vulnerability, which only 10.9.2 addressed.
10.9.2 combo could be installed only once 10.9 had been installed.
For all three Mac App Store releases, the partition to be installed on had to be GUID partition formatted according to Apple Disk Utility.

I had the same problem this weekend. The iphone 4s needed Itunes10.5 to sync to her Asus Windows 7 Laptop. When I tried to download from the Apple website I got the error that the windows installer was missings files or something like that. I uninstalled itunes and tried again but that didn't work. Then I redownloaded itunes 10.3 just to have a working version in case I gave up. Then I found site that suggested I update Windows by going through the start menu and while doing that I found an update Apple itunes file.
Goto Start and type Widows Update in the seach window. Click on check for updates (I already was current with all updates but I suggest you download the updates if there are some available.
Goto start and this time just type update in the search window. Look for the Apple itunes update link and click on it. It found there were updates for itunes 10.5, Quick time, Safari, and Icloud. I checked all the updates except for Safari, since we don't use it (yet).
The install started then seemed to stall at one spot for ~3min but then completed successfully. I open itunes and had her synced with Outlook Contact, Email, Calender, and Notes in 5 minutes. I did already configure Outlook by going to tools and Trust Center.
I hope this works.

I have tried to upgrade Painter 11 on my iMac running OS x 10.5.8 but get the error message : The following install step failed : run pre install script for Corel Painter11_SP1. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance "
I have contacted Corel and after several emails and one telephone call, they tell me , they cannot help but they think the problem could be with the OS.
Does anyone have any suggestions, please ?

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

Can't upgrade to XI from 9. error always occurs and it tells me to contact software manufacturer for assistance by sassy lassies

How can I eliminate the error that prevents me from upgrading from 9.0 to 11.0 The message always says contact the software manufacturer for assistance but so far, no help. I have an iMac.

That wouldn't be an adobe error.
Can you tell us how you are upgrading and exactly what the error message says? Right off the bat I would say you have malware on your system.

Why will it only fail trying to install on a MBPro-15 inch, and not when installing on MBPro-Retina 15", or MB-Air ?
The MBP-15" and the MB-Pro-retina-15" both run OS 10.9.9 ; The MBAir runs 10.7.5
No additional error information from the install process.

How can I install AirPort Utility 5.6?

What software are you trying to install?

Macs Console says this every time I try to update from 10.6.7 - 10.6.8

I can't update what so ever... every application basically needs to be manually installed or just comes to an unknown error either restarting the Mac or going through standalone...

Also... i already replaced my hard drive and opened all ports to my router.
