ILife '11 Installation Failed? Please Help!

Okay so basically I wiped my Mac and clean installed OSX Snow Leopard version 10.6.7, then after the installation completed I put the Application Install DVD in (installs the iLife programmes) and went through the necessary steps prior to install, when I actually click 'install' it says 'preparing to install' then within 1second a failed screen shows saying
    The Installation Failed.
An Unknown installation error occurred.
               The Installer encountered an error that caused the
                    installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer
                                                                                        for assistance.
I've looked around the support forums doing all the suggested fixes, I have so far : deleted the Java folder from the System > Library folder,
                                                                                                                          verified the disk permissions then repaired them if any errors where found.
I also improvised and downloaded a torrent of iLife 11 (not to intendedly use but to test to see if there was a problem with the disk) and then when I ran it I got the exact same message!! So the problem is not with the actual iLife / Bundled Software disk!!
Please help as I really require the programmes such as iMovie and Garageband for what I do...all help is welcomed and will be praised and below you can find a picture of the error screen! Thank you!!

I'm dealing with the same issue and I am afraid I anyway might be out of luck.
When you get the Installation Failed notice, look carefully at that window - in the upper righthand corner, there's a nondescript little symbol - I cant tell what it's supposed to be, but when I clicked on it, that brought up a notice saying that the software certificate "issued by: Apple Software Update Certification Authority"... "expired: Friday, March 23, 2012 12:26:07 PN CT".
The window has a lot of text in it, but will not allow the text to be selected, copied, dragged elsewhere or saved/ Scrolling down about a third of the way into it, there's two lines of interest -
"Not Valid Before - Friday, March 23, 2007 12:26:07 PN CT".
"Not Valid After - Friday, March 23, 2012 12:26:07 PN CT".
So basically it looks like Apple locks it out after five years... funny, because this is supposed to be iLife 2011, which makes it one year old, not five years. I bought it a year ago, not five years ago, as a add-on for my children.
The text box also has these two websites for further information -
CPS URI - http://www.apple.com/appleca/
and
URI - http://www.apple.com/appleca/swupdate.crl

[I hit SEND before finishing...]
So it looks as if I can no longer use this product.
By the way, I wondered if the installer gets on the internet with Apple during the installation to confirm eligibility or something, so I tried installing again with the internet offline. Same result - installation failed.
I will be very unhappy with Apple if it is really the case that this program lasted us less than one year. I had to reformat this Mac because of some system-level corruption my young son caused, and I should not have to repurchase iLife because it is one year old. Let's see what happens...

Can someone tell me what went wrong and how to correct this error? SUN technical support couldn't/wouldn't answer my question when I contacted them directly. Please help!

You downloaded the wrong thing.
You want the J2SE v 1.4.2_09 SDK (not the J2EE or the JRE packages)
That version isn't the most recent. The most recent is the JDK 5.0 Update 5 (this is a later version of 1.4.2_09 - Sun just made some name changes.)

Hello Every One,
Thanks for looking into this.
However the problem I solved the problem by myself.
The downloaded file is ok. Hence the md5sum mentioned in my below message is accurate. I created another administrator user in windowsXP and tried to install from that user's login.The installation was successful. And now I can access the database from both the logins (the old and the new).
I hope above will help anyone in future.
Rgds,

Indesign Fail: Please help

I have been trying to download Indesign from the Creative Cloud for a week. It gets to 43% then gives an Installation Failed error message each time. This is the first program I am attempting to download, as I need for a current project. Please advise or offer alternative. I signed up for the CC trial to do this and I am glad I didn't pay for it first, as I haven't been able to download the program needed. My PC has plenty of space, so I know that isn't the problem. Thanks for any help!

Time Machine Restore Fails PLEASE HELP!!!

Hello,
I originally installed Leopard as an Archive and Install. However, I was having performance issues and decided it would be best to make a backup with Time Machine and then bring everything back over with Migration Assistant. Now during the process of backup installation my computer snags up at the end on an iWork 08 file. However, I cant delete the file from my backup disc because of insufficent privlages (the exact error message is something to the effect of "the file cannot be deleted) Now, this wouldnt be a problem to restore everything 1 at a time through time machine prefrences>choose backup dic except for the fact when I try to bring my software back over that came bundled with the computer when I originally bought it. Specificaly im talking about Final Cut Pro HD: it ask for a product key that I dont have. Is there a way to regain admin privelages or a way to delete that particular file. Also, I have found my itunes music library but I cant find where my Movies,RIngtones, TV shows and Podcast are located in the FIle Hierarchy. If I need to manually bring my library over I dont want to lose purchased content. Where are these files located? If anyone can help me with these issues I would GREATLY appreciate it. I know it was dumb to do in the first place but I expected it to work and thus far its to no evail. I have a ton of programs installed that I have no idea where my install cd's are or product keys. PLEASE HELP!!!

Erik,
Thank you so much for all the detailed help. I figured out the solution. To delete any file permanently in Time Machine you have to do this. Open up Time Machine Window. Select a backup other than the most recent named "today" (or something like that). Then select the file. In the upper Time Machine Window there is a cog. Select the cog drop down menu and you get some options. Click Delete permanently from all backups. This is the ONLY way other than fudging with the root to permanently delete anything from a time machine backup. Otherwise, you get an error message about how back up items cant be edited (same if you try to drag it in the trash). Then, I had to do what you said and actually use Utility under the Leopard Install Disc instead of Restore from backup within leopard setup or Migration Assistant after setup. This actually erases the current Volume and fully restores the previous volume. Im not sure why that file was holding things up but this seems like the right fix. Now, my fingers are crossed but I think this will fix the problem. Again, thank you so much erik for the help.
*Note to anyone viewing this thread*
To restore from a time machine backup use Utility under the Leopard Install Disc and select a Time Machine Backup to restore. NOT Migration Assistant after Install and not the function after the install process where you choose the backup with your name,apps et. ( basically Migration assistant again but in leopard). You must use Utility from the Menu bar after the Leopard install disc restores.
To PERMANENTLY delete an item from ALL time machine backup-- Within the time Machine application Window select a back up other than the most previous one (why this is I do not know). Highlight the document and in the upper menu bar select the "cog" looking icon. The menu then drops down. Select *DELETE PERMANENTLY FROM ALL BACKUPS*. You cant do it through finder. You cant right click delete. You cant drag it in the trash.
I hope this thread helps anyone if they have a similar problem.
Once again thanks to Erik for all the detailed help!!!!

Internal software error cpp, line 214 - creating subtitles failed / please help

Hello,
it a pretty toutgh expierience trying to create my first dvd with Adobe,
I have to hand it over this Friday, in some 12 hours,
and there is another issue I have to cope with:
1. I have the project ready, I check for errors and there are no.
2. My project has 2 two timelines (movie and soundtrack) and subtitles in 7 languages. All already transcoded.
3. I press build DVD.ISO and here comes the wonderful Adobe greeting: Internal software error. File Spec: cpp, line 214. I clik ok and the other window appears happilly informing me that creating subtitles failed. And creating of thesee subtitles was the only reason I started using Adobe Premiere Pro and Encore
Could you please help me, I am going slightly crazy with it. How can I resolve this issue. I tried to look at the forum, but did not find the solution. Neither @ google.
Best regards,
Michal

Thanks a lot Stan !
I did two timelines, since I wanted to give the possibility to listen to the music track, without watching the movie. No idea if this could be done in one timeline (I am just starting my Adobe adventure .
Coming to the point, I fixed it. Here is how:
1. While building DVD the message was: Internal software error. File Spec: cpp, line 214. and creating subtitles failed.
2. I tried to make really big spaces between subtitles, as well as change the fonts, the kerings, etc. - to no avail.
3. I deleted all the subtitle text (marking it with the mouse and pressing delete), but leaving all the subtitle tracks, since I did not want to link them all again to the subtitle menu buttons.
4. For each subtitle track I imported the subtitle text once again.
And it worked! So simple if one already knows how to do it.
Thanks for help anyway, you and others at this forum helped me a lot during the whole project (missing Encore library, baddriver.txt to mention the most critical issues).
Best regards,
Michal

Installation problem-PLEASE HELP!

I downloaded a trial version of Dreamweaver CS3 from Adobe.
Later, I purchased the whole Suite and when installing the
installer keeps telling me that Dreamweaver CS3 is already
installed. BUT IT'S NOT!? I deleted all the files (I think) prior
to installation of the Suite. What am I missing? Please
HELP!

The installer has a mind of its own. You will almost
certainly need to
run the cs3clean script to remove all traces of the
Dreamweaver trial
version. Unfortunately, this will also remove the rest of the
suite, but
once your machine has been cleaned, the suite should install
correctly.

CS3 Installation Problem, please help!

Hi there ive been trying to install Photoshop CS3 and having great difficulty, it will only install the shared components and nothing else, Ive gone through all the tutorials on the Adobe help pages and still not had any luck, I've tried looking through the log and the only thing I could come across is the following:
[ 5028] Sat Apr 11 00:41:19 2009 ERROR
Default installation language not valid, falling back to first supported language.
[ 5028] Sat Apr 11 00:41:19 2009 DEBUG
couldn't find any info on the error code or anything, ive uploaded my installation log here:
http://www.2shared.com/file/5313464/86af2f33/Adobe_Photoshop_CS3_10.html
please help! I am using windows Vista but not sure if its 32 or 64

just tried that and still does not want to work, really just does not want to install for some reason!
I did try this and it wouldnt let me allow inhertible permissions to the admin on Solution 11 of this: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401401 this part here:
Select both "Allow inheritable permissions from parent to propagate to this object" and "Reset permissions on all child objects and enable propagation of inheritable permissions," on the Permissions tab.
Click OK in the "Advanced Security Settings" dialog box. Windows will now reset the permissions for each child object to correspond with its parent.
If you can't change permissions or rename that key, then contact Microsoft or your hardware vendor for assistance.
not sure if that has something to do with it?
appart from that i'm completly out of ideas, very frustrating as i have been trying for days to get this to install! any more suggestions are welcome
