OS X 10.5 Leopard - Installation error message "No software to install"

Hello,
I am trying to upgrade my Intel iMac (Early 2006) from OS X 10.4.11 to Leopard OS X 10.5.
I insert the Leopard DVD and installation begins after restarting. The DVD consistency check runs fine but as soon as installation commences a yellow exclamation mark appears on the screen and informs me that installation could not complete as there is "no software to install".
- I have checked the DVD for scratches: No scratches.
- I have changed the RAM: Error messages occur regardless of the RAM configuration. (I have 2 x 1Gb RAM memory sticks installed, from Kingston memory). I went back to the original iMac RAM installed (2 x 512Mb RAM sticks) and the same error message appears.
I restart the iMac using the Startup disk and return to OS X 10.4.11.
Any hints on how to get the Leopard installation to work?
Thanks,
Ben

Success!
I moved 21Gb of stored files from the hard drive I was trying to install Leopard on. Went from 29Gb of free space to 50Gb.
For some reason the OS X 10.5 Leopard installation process liked this and Leopard installed.
I thought only 9Gb of free space was required to install Leopard?
Anyway, it worked.
Excellent. I will be sure to bookmark this thread. One never knows when it may come in handy.
The answer to your question is a little complicated and has been answered (approximately) elsewhere. Hopefully someone can point you at it.

I am not sure about this particular error number. Looking it up in Windows Installer error messages, it says file in use, restart may be required. But I am not certain that it is a Windows installer error message.
It certainly is worth trying a restart.
I would also clear your temporary Internet files and re-download iTunes.
Also clear your temporary directory as that seems to be where the error occurred.
This article on trouble installing iTunes includes instructions for clearing the temp folder (towards the end of the page) and also other things to try.

Hi Gurmo,
HRESULT: 0x80073712 means ERROR_SXS_COMPONENT_STORE_CORRUPT, and it is one of the error codes listed at this
KB article.
I suggest you run the System Update Readiness tool and check if the error still persists.
There is a similar thread for your reference.

I am unable to install iTunes due to Windows Installer error message on Vista

I needed to update my iTunes since I purchased the iPad2. My Windows Vista machine will not allow me to update the program due to a "Windows Installer" error message. I first attempted to update, then I uninstalled and am unable to reinstall the software."There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run..."

I finally got the program to install/run. I downloaded a third copy and saved it again on the desktop. I selected "Run as Administrator" instead of "Run" It must have been the 10th plus time I tried to install, but this time it completed. I don't know if the "Run as Administrator" was the key since it is Vista, or if I just got lucky. Either way I am relieved.

Keep getting "general installation error" message Mac OSX 10.8.5/Safari 6.0.5

keep getting "general installation error" message Mac OSX 10.8.5/Safari 6.0.5 Followed all the instructions for uninstalling and clean installing. Just wont install

Make sure you have it set to "show hidden files"
Check BOTH places and you have to restart Finder
Press "Quit This" and then go to the Finder Dock icon and right click it
Select "Open"
Open TIme Machine
Go back to September 28 or earlier.
You'll see the mach_kernel file in the Mac HD directory
(I can't show it in the TM because screenshots don't work while it's open but here it is in my MAc HD)
Right click it and select "Restore to"
Then, when it goes back to Finder, choose the Mac HD directory and click OK.
It will place the mach_kernel back where it was and you can install software again
DON'T FORGET to go back and hide your files (and restart Finder) again, or you'll have a mess with the clutter of hidden files everywhere.

Deskjet 6940 - multiple black cartridge 96 installation error messages

I have a new Deskjet 6940. I installed the black 96 cartridge. Printer keeps saying it is not installed correctly. I cleaned the cartridge, ran the jet/bubble test. Finally I replaced the cartridge, same installation error message. I do not get the error message for the color 97 cartridge. Is this problem common to the 6940? Not sure what my options are. Thanks

have the same problem. We installed cartiridge and did a test page by holding power and cancel buttons at same time. Nothing is showing up for the black cartridge. Maybe cleaning something would help, but I can't find any information on how to access the information using Vista.

TS1394 im getting an error message when trying to install the snow leopard application cd 2. need help.

im getting an error message when trying to install the application cd on my Imac os x 10.6.4 what can I do to solve this problem?

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 the 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 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.)

I cannot install the latest version of flashplayer. during the installation I keep getting a "general installation error" message.
I have un-installed my old version of flashplayer and followed all the trouble shootong tips but to no avail.
My system is a macintosh, operating with 10.8.5. Any help would be gratefully received......

Download the following:

Flash Player Uninstaller
Also, download these:

Save all the files and close your browser.
Run the uninstallers first (both of them)
Go to: C/Windows/System32
Delete the Macromed folder.
Go to: C/Windows/SysWOW64
Delete the Macromed folder.
Open your Registry Editor (Start>Run or press the Windows key + R and type 'regedit' [minus the quotes] and click OK)
In the Registry Editor, go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE
Delete the Macromedia folder (Right click and choose "Delete").
Go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software and delete the Macromedia folder there too.
Close the Registry Editor and empty your recycle bin.
Run the Flash Player installer, and then the Shockwave FULL installer you downloaded.
