Mac OS 10.7.4, installing Microsoft Office 14.2.7, error "The Installer can't open the package. There may be a problem with file ownership or permissions."

Mac OS 10.7.4, updating new version Microsoft Office 14.2.7, ERROR "The Installer can’t open the package. There may be a problem with file ownership or permissions."
The Apple Installer version is Version 5.0.1 (537).
When I check the Installer Log, I find only these two messages that I do not understand.

I had identical Installer Log failure notices: I used Houdini to view the invisible files and per Limnos' suggestion cautiously dragged
user > library > preferences > com.apple.installer.plist out of that folder onto my desktop and double-clicked on the .pkg file again and it opened and installed properly.
My Installer now works properly on all .pkg files.

Tried to install a new game but got error message "You can't open the application "XIII Install" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." I have since read that Yosemite doesn't have the program. What can I do?

Tried to install a new game that I bought (Xiii) for my MBP. All system req have been met and exceeded, however when trying to install it I get an error message saying "You can’t open the application “XIII Install” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
I have since read online that the operating software Yosemite has got rid of PowerPC applications, meaning I can't install my new game.
Is there anything simple that I can do to get this game to work. I'll be gutted if not as I have opened the game therefore the shop will not give a full refund, I'm sure .
Regards
Simon

A lot longer ago than that. PowerPC apps haven't been supported since Lion, 10.7.x.
You may have just purchased the game, but the developers obviously haven't kept up to date with the requirements for newer versions of the Mac OS.
You have three options, depending on how old your Mac is.
1) If it were ever able to boot directly to Snow Leopard, you could create a separate partition and install SL onto that partition. Make sure to turn on the option during the installation to install Rosetta. That is OS X's PPC emulator.
2) If your Mac is too new to install Snow Leopard, then you can purchase and install Snow Leopard Server within a VM, such as Parallels, VirtualBox, or Vmware.
3) Use a separate older Mac for running outdated software.

Use any number of free alternatives to your nearly decade old version of MS Office.
Consider
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice (free)
OpenOffice (free)
In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for years. Life is better without Microsoft.

I keep getting the error message: " You can't open the application "%@" because it may be damage or incomplete" when I try to install a software that I purchased.

I have a typing software that I bought a while ago. I had installed it on an old pc but I just bought a macbook and I'd like to install it onto the new macbook, as I no longer use the old pc. When I open the installer, I get the error message: " You can't open the application "%@" because it may be damage or incomplete"
Does anybody know if this is fixable or if I need to just buy a new disk?
Thanks!!!

Moxzilla installed Microsoft office, powerpoint, excel, and etc., and I can not print anything, I need my printing ability back asap, can you help me please?

When I try to print, I am unable to. Something pops up about I need to install a printer, but I already have a printer, and it was working just fine until I order microsoft office accessories on Sunday February 20, 2011.

Using File > Print or {Ctrl + P} to initiate printing you get what is known as the "native print dialog" box - is your printer selected in the '''Printer - Name''' selector near the top of that box?
