HT5022 Airport Utility 5.6 install failed in OS X Lion

Installer fails to install Airport Utility 5.6 on my Macbook Pro (OS X Lion)! The error window only advices to "contact the software manufacturer for assistance".

If you are running OS X 10.7.5, make sure that you have the correct version of AiPort Utility liked below:
AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion
You may have downloaded AirPort Uility 5.6.1, which is not the right version for Lion.
If you have moved to Mountain Lion 10.8.x, you will need to use a workaround to install AirPort Utilty 5.6.  See this article for details:

  • Airport utility 5.6 install failed

    need to use first version of airport express and running 10.7.5 airport utility 5.6 install fails need help

    First try AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion. If that version does not install, go on to the next series of steps.
    Here are the basic steps to install version 5.6 under OS X Lion (versions 10.7.3 +) or OS X Mountain Lion using CharlesSoft's Pacifist:
    If you haven't already download the AirPort Utility disk image file directly from Apple Support Download
    Place the resultant AirPortUtility56.dmg file onto your Mac's Desktop.
    Run Pacifist.
    Click on the Open Package option. Find the disk image file that you just placed on your desktop, and then, click on Open.
    The utility is located as follows: Contents of AirPortUtility56.dmg > Contents of AirPortUtility56.pkg > Contents of AirPortUtility56Lion.pkg > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6.app
    Drag AirPort Utility 5.6.app to your Mac's /Applications/Utilities folder.
    You can now run the AirPort Utility from the Utilities folder.

  • Airport utility 5.6 install fail

    I have old airport expresses.  I am told my Airport utility does not support them, and I need version 5.6.
    When I found that, it failed at the end of the installation several times.
    Any ideas what to do?

    Use the technique described in this thread: I can't install airport utility 5.6

  • HT5022 Airport Utility 5.6.1 didn't work with Lion 10.7.4  So I can't install my AirPort Express (Late 2008) !!!!!!!!!!!

    Iа somebody can instruct me how to install "old" airport express 5.6.1 on Lion 10.7.4  ?

    The info notes on AirPort Utility 5.6.1 indicate that it will not run on Lion 10.7.x.  It will run on Snow Leopard 10.6.x or Leopard Macs 10.5.x.
    AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion is what you need, as it can be used on your Mac running Lion to configure both the original and previous generation AirPort Express models.

    You are trying to install a version of Airport Utility earlier than 6.0, correct? If so see the following: Installing the Old AirPort Utility (Version 5.6) on Mountain Lion | frank.is.

  • HT5022 Airport Utility 5.6 won't install.  Gets to the last step and fails.  Why?

    I have an older Airport Extreme so I need to install Airport Utility 5.6 as 6 does not recognize it.  The download goes fine and installation proceeds until the last step of the installation (cleaning up) when it fails.  I'm using Lion.  Suggestions? 

    Apple will not let you install AirPort Utility 5.6 on Lion 10.7.4 (or 10.7.5) if you have updated the operating system.
    You might want to study a workaround in this thread.

    This is not officially supported by Apple, so it may or may not work for you.....if you want to give it a try.

  • HT5022 Airport Utility 5.6 would not install

    Airport Utility 5.6 would not install on my MacBook Pro with 10.7.5 (Lion): "The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."  Hello, Apple?

    Use the workaround described in this thread: How do I configure an Airport Express when I get this message in Airport Utility? "This version of AirPort Utility doesn’t support this base station."
    Pay attention to the caveat in the final paragraph, restated here for emphasis:
    Keep in mind that Apple's decision to abandon support for your original AirPort Express was for reasons known only to them. Remember that you are using obsolete equipment, should some future OS X feature not work for you.

  • HT5022 Why won't AirPort Utility 5.6 install on OS 10.7.5?   Have tried several times on 2 computers and continually get error

    I have an older airport express that cannot be configured with 6.2.   I have tried to install 5.6 as instructed on 2 computers, both with OS 10.7.5 and in both cases repeatededly get an error during installation saying to contact software manufacturer.

    Catch 22. Apple is the software manufacturer, so you may need to contact them for this specific issue.
    AirPort Utility 5.6 will not install on Mountain Lion 10.8.x either, using Apple's installer. But, there are several workarounds that seem to allow this.
    One of them is discussed in this article:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/1167965/mountain_lion_and_the_ancient_airport_ba se_station.html
    I do not have a Lion 10.7.5 Mac here to test, but can say that the workaround does work on Mountain Lion for me. Follow the instructions in Pacifist to manually "extract" the AirPort Utility 5.6 application and install it in the Utilities folder on your Mac.
    It might work on Lion, if you want to give it a try. Otherwise, if you do not want to contact Apple, you could use another Mac....if available.... running an earlier operating system to configure the Express. Even a PC would work for the same purpose.

  • HT5022 Airport Utility 5.6 will not install under Mountain Lion

    I have older Base Station Extreme and Airport Express models that need to be looked after; however, the fix to install Airport Utility 5.6 under Lion will not work under Mountain Lion. The installer complains that "the version of Mac OS X on this volume is not supported". So...suggestions?

    That is correct. AirPort Utility 5.6 for OS X Lion will NOT install under OS X Mountain Lion. If you had it already installed, and then upgraded, it would have worked just fine.
    One option, is to use Pacifist to extract the utility directly from the .dmg file.

  • HT5022 AirPort Utility 5.6 will not install on Lion

    I have an older airport express and I'd like to be able to manage it the new Aiprot utulity is not compatible and the older version of Airport Utility 5.6 is not able to be installed on Lion.

    Be sure that you are attempting to install the correct version (5.6) that is designed to work on OS X Lion. You can download it directly from Apple Support here.

  • HT5022 Airport express 5.6 install problems on osx 10.7.5

    Anyone know why everytime I try to install airport express 5.6 on osx 10.7.5 it gives me the error "installation failed". I've tried several times to reinstall it but I keep getting the same error

    Please check at the very top of the post for context. The user is posting regarding.......
    AirPort Base Station: How to set up and configure an 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station or AirPort Express in OS X Lion
    AirPort Utility 6.2 in Lion or Mountain Lion does not support an older 802.11g device, so advising the user to download and install AirPort Utility 6.2....when it is very likely already installed on a Lion or Mountain Lion machine .....does not solve the issue here.
    AirPort Utility 5.6....which the user needs to configure the 802.11g AirPort Extreme.....cannot be installed on 10.7.5 or any 10.8.x Macs without using some workarounds.....not supported by Apple as far as I can tell.
    Can you advise on this?

  • HT5022 Airport Utility 5.6 does not fix the old Airport Express!

    My old airport express does not work anymore - the Airport Utility 5.6 makes changes but after re-starting, the Airport Express cannot be found. Now I am forced to buy a new one. Not good (and sold out as many experienced the same apparently)

    Do you get any sort of error message when you try to install, and if so what does it say?
