Unable to install Xcom after download from MAS

Since yesterday i try to install the game Xcom: Enemy unknown - Elite Edition from the Mac App Store (MAS).
The game downloads fine - wich takes close to 2h for the 13,5gb - and then the button switches to "installing" wich suddenly ends with "unknown error", please try again. and boy i've tried..
now it's the second day downloading this over and over again and i'm seriously pi**ed that i didn't use ferals online store but the MAS.
i hope someone has any hint what i can do?
what i already did:
1) deleted the file and tried again
2) deactivated "little snitch"
3) cleared the cache and tried again
4) cleared the temp cache and tired again
5) used onyx to clear the system, cleaned the app store cache, rebooted and treid again
6) set up a new user and tried again
all in all nothing worked for me. and after 5x times downloading (thats 10hrs!) i'm seeking for wisdom that goes beyond my google skills.
any help appreciated.
thanks,
robotobi

Hey,
The exact same thing happened to me.  App store support was very nice- but never figured out what was causing the issue.  Luckily im on vacation now and could use my mom's mbp to download the game and then transfer it to my computer but it was super frustrating.  My biggest problem is now most of my large app store downloads are behaving this way and i don't know how to fix it and neither does apple- makes me want to buy games from steam instead.
If you ever figure out what the problem was please let me know- ill do the same

    I have the same problem and
    have followed the link uninstalling in the correct order,
    then restarted as per instructions,
    went to Apple to download itunes,
    hit download now,
    Visit the iTunes download page. Click Download Now to download the iTunes installer. When prompted, click Save (instead of Run).
    did not get a save instead of run prompt
    Right click on iTunesSetup or iTunes64Setup (the installer you downloaded in step 3).
    If you have Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: Choose "Run as administrator."
    i can only click run as administrator from right clicking the shortcut on my desktop screen
    If iTunes fails to install or repair, it might be necessary to remove components left from a previous installation of iTunes and then reinstall.

  • Acrobat 10 Pro: Unable to Install Updates After Virus Removed: Receive Error 1310 ?

    Acrobat 10 Pro: Unable to Install Updates After Virus Removed: Receive Error 1310 ?
    Attempted to re-install the original Adobe Acrobat 10 Pro from the disk provided with the purchase; and it has put me in a trial; and is requesting that I purchase the software I already paid for, two years ago.

    You can try a repair (may need to go to Control Panel>Programs & Features). A reinstall is a last resort, but if you go there be sure to uninstall from the control panel, run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, and remove any part left of the Acrobat folder. Then reboot as the administrator and reinstall. Be sure to disable antivirus during the install.

  • Unable to install "InstallESD.dmg" file from OS X Mounstain Lion?

    Hi,
    Unable to install "InstallESD.dmg" file from OS X Mounstain Lion, i've downloaded OS X Mavericks and installed on other machine. However, i took backup of "Show Package Contents" before installing.When i try to install ""InstallESD.dmg" file some other Mac machine. When i double click on it its open Packages folder instead of installer.
    Please suggest me, how can i install OS X Mavericks for My Mac machines.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Suresh Balakrishnan.

    Unfortunately with OS X Mavericks you can't use the InstallESD.dmg file as an installer. You have to use either DiskMaker X 3.0.4 or Mavericks Bootable Disk Creation Tool or do an Internet search for the Terminal command that can be used to create a bootable Mavericks installer on an external drive (e,g, USB thumb drive).
    You will need the Install OS X Mavericks.app from the Mac App Store to use with all of the above solutions.

  • How to do a clean install of Lion download from App store

    How do you do a clean install of Lion downloaded from the App store.  I downloaded and it installed but never was there a time of the installation it gave me an option to do a clean install.  Thanks for any help.

    Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
    If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

    Bridge will do the job. View > Sort > ByType. Then you can choose a group of one type and put the files in a separate folder.

  • Can any one tell me how to install flash player on powerbookg4.i actully uninstall it to upgrade it but now i can not install new one.it always says get flash player for powerpc when i try to install it after downloading.it is 10.5.8 version

    can any one tell me how to install flash player on powerbookg4.i actully uninstall it to upgrade it but now i can not install new one.it always says get flash player for powerpc when i try to install it after downloading.it is 10.5.8 version

    Flash Player version 10.1.102.64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users. However, this Flash version won't work for many videos on Facebook, YouTube and other sites. Adobe's latest version, 10.2.x or later, is only for Intel Macs. Adobe will not provide a newer Flash version for PPC Macs.
    The message requesting that you download Adobe Flash Player takes you to Flash Player requiring an Intel processor. Doesn't work on a PowerPC processor. I found a hack, installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari.
    Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

  • Cant find books on kindle after downloading from openlibrary. maybe need to add code to adobe digital edition

    i cannot find my books on my kindle after downloading from open library...
    is it because i didnt enter a code into adobe digital before i downloaded
    is it because my kindle is not supported by adobe
    what is wrong. i want to be able to read my books on my kindle from open library and i cannot.

    Kindle does not read epub files.  You could try searching the net for a conversion program form epub to mobi.  Calibre might do it?
