Installation hangs on Mac OS X Lion

I downloaded the flash builder trial version from the web. Started the installation, entered the serial number which I received in the email.
But it hangs as soon as I start. See the attached screenshot. I am not sure what is going on. I restarted the computer, closed all apps, removed previous version of FB but to no avail.
My environment is Mac OS X 10.7.1 (Lion)
What am I doing wrong?

It sounds like you have (or had... this was a month ago) the same problem as me. My solution is posted here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4052808

  • Flex Builder 3 installation hanging on Mac OS X Leopard

    Hi,
    Excited to get going with the tutorial. Slightly disappointed by the installation of the Flex Builder 3 on my Mac OS X Leopard installation. I followed all instructions, ensuring that I closed all my open apps beforehand. The installer has been sitting at the "Installing..." stage with the message "Please wait, Abdobe Flex Builder 3 is being configured for your system. This may take a moment...". It's been displaying that for 20 minutes now, so I think it's safe to say it's not going to come back.
    Looking around for clues, I can see another windowtitled "Flash Player 9 Silent Installer" which has a 100% blue progress bar below a label "Iterms remaining to be installed: 0"
    Recommendations anyone? Am I safe to force quit the installation and retry? All tips welcomed!
    Stuart

    lower your font size unless you have difficulty
    MS Security Essentials is excellent
    Then again maybe time to investigate Windows 8 RP (which uses Defender)

  • Mac OS X Lion Server - Clean Installation

    I do have a Mac mini server with OS X Snow Leopard Server. I would like to go to Lion Server but I don't want to use the default installation method.
    I understood, that Lion Server usually is no operating system but an App, which is to be installed by App Store. This is a nice feature for users who have any OS X Lion device such as a Mac Book or an iMac and want to have server features with them.
    But this doesn't fit for a dedicated server system!
    How can I perform a clean installation of OS X Lion Server on a new partition?
    (I don't want to upgrade my Snow Leopard Server partition to Lion Server, before I have tested that everything is working as expected. And I especially don't want to install Lion first and than add Lion Server as an App.)

    You can purchase Lion server from the app store
    and when the download is complete and prompted to
    install, select cancel.  Then, locate the downloaded installer
    in the Applications folder and follow these instructions
    to create an install disk or USB stick:
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20080989-263/how-to-create-an-os-x-lion-ins tallation-disc/?tag=mncol
    Then, you should be able to install on a partition of
    your chosing. 
    I strongly suggest that you clone your current install
    and backup any data should something go awry.

  • Do i need to backup my information before installation of Mac os x lion? I know I should always back up, but what i'm asking is will my information be there, or is it a totally clean install? Will my information have to be transfered?

    Do i need to backup my information before installation of Mac os x lion? I know I should always back up, but what i'm asking is will my information be there, or is it a totally clean install? Will my information have to be transfered?

    When I installed Lion all of my files were intact and where I left them, and I did not back up my Mac, however having seen some of the problems some people are coming across when installing Lion I would recommend backing up before you install (just to be on the safe side).
    Hope this helps!

  • Mac OS X Lion Installation via App Store

    I have a 13" MBP with Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and have downloaded Mac OS X Lion from the app store (I had purchased it about a year ago). However, I am not able to begin installation after the download finished. I can see OS X Lion under "Purchases" but there is no "Install" button available. All I see is a grayed out "Downloaded" button. Do I have to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion in order to proceed? I would appreciate any help on installing the already downloaded Mac OS X Lion.
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    As you have downloaded OS X Lion, you should find the OS X Lion installer on the Dock, so press it and follow the steps. If you don't see it, open Finder, select Applications on the sidebar and open Install Mac OS X Lion. If you can't see it, disconnect all peripherals, press Command and Space keys to access to Spotlight, type "Install Mac OS X Lion" and open the installer

  • Uninstallation of Mac OS X Lion and installation of OS X Snow Leopard

    Good evening,
    my question is about uninstallation of Mac OS X Lion back to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. I used to backup Time Capsule and i want to install the Time Capsule software, which I used while I had Snow Leopard. Now I can´t install the software because the OS X software version is to high. So I decided to install back the OS X Snow Leopard. When I opened the installation aplication it couldn´t be installed because the version of the installation aplication is to high. So I want to ask if there is any way to uninstall the OS X Lion and install back the Mac OS X Snow Leoprad?
    Thanks for the anwser

  • Damaged Installer for Mac OS X Lion

    I have tried numerous times to install Adobe Flash Player (versions 10.3.183.5 & 11.0.1.152) on Mac OS X Lion.  Every time the installer proceeds to approximately 5% completion, then fails with the following message:
    The installation failed.  Get support.
    From searching other threads I found the recommendation to run the uninstaller package, then download and re-run the latest installer package.  The uninstaller package runs fine, but the installer fails again.  Another thread recommends to control-click the Install Adobe Flash Player Application, then Show Package Contents, then open the Contents/Resources folder to find the Adobe Flash Player package.  When I try to run this package I receive the follwoing error message:
    The Installer is damaged.  The Installer can't open the package.  There may be a problem with file ownership or permissions.
    I have tried downloading the installer different times from both the Adobe website and download.cnet.com with no success.  This is a factory install of Lion and I have installed several other applications on this Mac with no problems.  I have installed JRE and ensured that that the Flash Player plugins are not currently installed in my Internet Plugins folder of my Library and the core Library.  I have installed Google Chrome and flash runs fine with it's flash player plugin.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    I cleared my cache by using the Safari/Reset Safari menu item (which deletes a lot of stuff), cleaned out my downloads folder, then emptied the trash.  I used the direct link to the Mac installer listed in the linked article.  Same result for both methods of opening the installed package.  I checked the file information for the installer downloaded and it showed the most recent download time for the version 11 installer.
    Also, just for grins, I downloaded the installer using Chrome.  No luck that route either.

  • How to create a Mac OS X Lion USB thumb drive installation bootable drive on a brand new Macbook???

    Hi,
    As Apple have decided not to give with new laptops USB thumb drives for installation of OS X Lion (as they did with Snow Leopard), since people on the go might not have access to high speed internet when the system crashes, plenty of tutorials have surfaced about "How to Make a Bootable Mac OS X Lion USB Install Key"
    Such as
    http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=16149
    http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2389178,00.asp
    These all assume you have upgraded to Lion from Snow Leopard thus purchasing the Lion on the App Store.
    Any ideas what people who have purchased brand new Mabooks do? As the system comes preloaded with the OS X Lion and it's not considered purchased on the App store.
    I think Apple's new policy to charge customers $69 for this thumb drive is wrong and outrageous since the price of the laptop includes a license for the OS!
    Thanks,
    Guy.

    Thanks.

    The installer may actually not be hunging, in my installation on Win XP, I have seen it "pause" at this point for 5 min or more before continuing with the installation to a successful completion, I did not try to do anything to assist it. Try giving it more time and see what happens.
