X11 from DVD - installation errors

I've just downloaded Open Office onto my MacBook, and so was prompted to install X11 from my OS X disc. However, whenever I try to install it from the disc, I get an error message to the effect of "There was an error installing, please try installing again." I subsequently have tried deleting the .pkg, reloading it from the DVD and trying again, but with the same results. Anyone have any ideas as to what's wrong? Thanks.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I just installed 10.4.6 on a G4 15" Power Book and I got the "There was an error" message.
I had customized the installation to add X11. When I retried the installation and did not select X11, the installation was successful.
I would seem that something about the X11 installation causes this problem.

Cannot export video: AME cannot read from source, Installation Error

Ok, I've seen a lot of people on here talk about this and I have tried using their solutions but nothing has worked.
I cannot export anything from Premier Pro using Media Encoder. When I try, I get an yellow warning sign saying that it cannot read from the source, and when I close out of it I get a message saying that there is an installation error and that I need to make sure it is installed correctly. I have uninstalled and re-installed ALL of my Adobe products about three times this past weekend trying to fix it and nothing has worked. I have tried making sure that there are no blank spaces in my project, I have named it several different things, I have moved it from my external drive to my main drive, to a different external drive, etc.
I am using a Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard, all of my software has been updated, and I am very frustrated.
Help?

Bummer!
Well, it was worth a shot, as externals/network drives have been known to cause similar.
Now, there were issues with Encore and Snow Leopard, but I do not recall all of the details, as I am a PC-guy, and have to admit that first I do not know squat about Macs, and probably do not read Mac threads as closely, as I should. Seems that Apple was working on an update to Snow Leopard, and again from recollection, it seems that that update helped several on the Encore forum. Have you updated Snow Leopard?
Sorry to just sit here guessing, and probably wasting valuable time for you, but until a Mac-user with the "fix" comes along, the PC-community will try to help. Be patient with us though. Our intentions are good ones, but our expertise is lacking - at least in MY case.
Good luck,
Hunt

Alternatively, you could use software like appZapper or CleanApp. But I normally just drag the app to the trash.

After failed installation from DVD unable to uninstall to retry - Error message 2343

Having started installation of Elements 12 from DVD it failed before completing the installation and then rolled back the last two items on the installation list (out of 3). Now when running the DVD again it endeavours to do an uninstall before trying a reinstall. However it is unable to complete the uninstall process and fails every time with the Error 2343 - specified path is empty. Suggested options such as deleting temporary files and doing a clean boot produce exactlly the same result. This is on a Windows 7 Pro x64 PC with 8GB RAM and an i3 processor and 500GB disc with over 200GB free. It would seem that the only solution to remove the software is to edit the registry, as the standard uninstall process is clearly not going to complete. I therefore need to know what registry edits are needed in order to remove the programme complately from the PC. Otherwise it is clear that it is never going to be possible to install the software, which makes it rather a waste of money!

I had already tried that I'm afraid, without success. I therefore tried the installation on a different PC, also Windows7 Pro x64 but with different hardware (AMD proc., different disk controller and different DVD ROM but also with 8GB RAM and plenty of available disk space). The only other common parameter to note is that both PCs are running Bitdefender antivirus software. However I allow the AV software to completely check the Photoshop Elements 12 DVD ROM before starting the install process, as this can take severla minutes, so that the AV software does not need to access the DVD ROM drive during the install process. The software installation failed during the installation of the Shared Technologies scetion exactly as on the previous PC. I can only conclude that either there is a problem with Windows 7 Pro x64 or Bitdefender compatibility and that it will not be possible to install this software on either of these PCs in its current form. There has to be a limit as to how much time one is willing to spend on overcoming an incompatibility like this. I think I will have to find an alternative photo editing product (the Serif trial product seems to load without any problems on the original PC!). Thank you anyway for your help and suggestions but I think in this case we have hit a brick wall.

This helped, but after the update, my Mac thinks this is a "demo" version. I tried entering what seems to be a tiny serial number on the package, but nothing worked. I tried registering iWork. I will see what that brings.

Installation package from dist kit error: This installation package could not be opened by windows

Hi-
Can you please assist me with this error. I have created a dist kit which installs correctly on my PC that has the development environment installed (CVI2012), but fails install on new PC running Win7 (no dev environment installed). The error message is below. Is sometimes will go through the whole installation but never installs it on the PC. Sometimes is will error out right away as in pic below. Can you help? I don't know if this is a Windows problem or an NI problem.
Thanks-
Blue
Solved!

This error also occurs if the install package cannot be accessed properly (network connection, scratched disk, etc.) You could try copying the files directly to the computer to run the install or a new disc if it is scratched).
See example of this issue below for installing LabVIEW from DVD:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/27BD42F4FDCBD4E7862576DD0057ADA5?OpenDocument
This might help eliminate issues other than the actual installer having an error.

DVD Player installation error A valid DVD drive could not be found. [-70012]

My iMac has an external "superdrive" and I can't play files .dvdmedia. On opening the DVD Player I get this message: There was installation error A valid DVD drive could not be found. [-70012]
This sent an error message to Apple when I click the OK button.
I have tried to relinstall the DVD player.app from the SnowLeopard disc, but this app was not on the list for custom install. I have repaired permissions, no help! I have shut down and waited several minutes and restarted, no help.

My continued frustration with this problem lead me to an archived discussion https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2020977?start=0&tstart=0 This lead me to beleive I need to use the reset password to fully repair my permissions as contained there. Also while booted in the install disc, I performed a Repair Disc on the StartUp disc.
After all this, when I restarted, the DVD Player was able to play DVDmedia files completely.
So I quess I solved my own problem.

Trying to reinstall CS5.5 Master Collection from DVD media on Windows 7 64 bit - setup.exe fails due to msxml3.dll error PDApp message [FATAL] PIM - Failed to Create XML instance : DOMDocument40 ADXML::initWithXMLPath Error:80040154

If anyone is able to solve this they are a genius (or I am doing something very stupid!)
I am trying to reinstall CS5.5 Master Collection from DVD media on Windows 7 64 bit PC but setup.exe fails due to a msxml3.dll error.
Following a big bundle of recent Windows 7 updates, I started getting 'bad image' msxml3.dll error messages when opening any CS5.5 master collection program (Eg Premiere / Photoshop / Illustrator / Dreamweaver). Following advice on some threads here I tried uninstalling and then using the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool to clean up install, then reinstalling from my original DVD media.
Whenever I try using run setup.exe from installtion disc 1 the installing fails due to 'Missing files'. I have also tried dowloading trial versions and runing setup.exe fro mthe downloaded files but i still get the same message.
I have searched the forum and others have experienced this error but none of the solutions I have found seem to be working for me - as many seem to relate to download installations whereas I am installing from original DVD media (which worked fine before on the same PC)
These are the FATAL messages from the PDApp log
12/11/2014 15:29:27 [FATAL] PIM - Failed to Create XML instance : DOMDocument40 ADXML::initWithXMLPath Error:80040154
12/11/2014 15:29:27 [FATAL] Setup - Could not initialize ADXML object
12/11/2014 15:29:27 [FATAL] Setup - Unable to initialize. Error parsing setup.xml file
The PDApp troubleshooting seems to indicate that this is caused by error in downloads but I am getting it with both original media DVD and downloads.
I have also tried using my logon (which has admin privileges) and under our main admin account - and I get the same errors.
Is a clean install of Windows 7 + CS5.5 my only option?
Any help / info / advice / solutions very much appreciated! I have spent the last 2 days trying to sort this out and seem to be getting nowhere.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply kglad - much appreciated.
I have already tried that option (along with downloading files) as it was one of the solutions mentioned on other threads, but that also failed.
Any other ideas?

10.6.6 update - can't boot, installation OS from DVD fails

hi all,
I have updated to 10.6.6 yesterday and since then I can't boot my MBPro. It freezes at the initial grey screen with Apple logo and "loading" wheel spinning (initially an installation progress bar appears, but vanishes after a while).
I tried reinstalling Snow Leopard from DVD, but it fails "The content of this disk can't be changed. Mac OS X couldn't be installed on this disk." I tried verifying / repairing the hard drive using the Disk Utility, but here I also get an error: "Disk utility can't repair this disk..disk, and restore you backed-up files".
I ran the Disk Utility verification of my HD about a week ago, all worked OK then.
Any ideas how I can get to my hard drive?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Was Boot Camp or File Vault ever used?
Do you have a backup?

"error" message while installing OS X Tiger from DVD

I get through the first disk OS X Tiger DVD ok, and on to the second, iLife '06 installs fine, but on the second disk when it's in the middle of installing GarageBand, the "error...please try again" message comes up and ejects the disk. These are the original DVD's that came with the MB Pro. RAM is fine --came with the Mac, it's not third party. Any ideas?
Also, I chose the partition of my new HD to be "Extended" not "Extended (Journaled)". I now realize it needs to be journaled for the HD to be a boot drive. Is there a way to partition the HD again?

Hi Hannes Lübeck, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, 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. (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. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. 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.
It doesn't sound like the Problem is that it's not Journalled... if it were it wouldn't do any install at all.

X11 wont start in OS 10.4.3., installed from DVD

Hi,
I installed X11 from the Tiger installation DVD (yes, the X11User.pkg file, not the other one) and I can find the X11 app in the utilities folder. however, when I double click the app icon for X11, it just flashes on for a second or two, I can see X11 menu for a while, and then X11 app terminates itself.
I haven't been able to use Gimp (2.2.8 version if I remember correctly) because of this. obviously X11 does not start, because Gimp just notifies me that "X11 is needed to run this app" or something...
Anyone know what I could do? does X11 need anything else to support it? I've been a proud owner of my iBook for couple of months, and quite a newbie with this OS, so any advice (with "for dummies" conversion if possible) is very welcome!
Thanks!
iBook 12" Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Are there any files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/ ?
You can get there in the finder by clicking on Go -> Go to Folder, then enter the path above.
You should have 2 files in that directory; fonts.dir & fonts.scale
If you do not have those 2 files you'll need to uninstall and reinstall X11.
If you have those files you may need to reset your X11 configuration for your user. On the command line run the following command as the user that is having problems with X11.
cp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc ~/.xinitrc

Error "inconsistent database" on DVD installer CS5

i reformated my disc and tried to install CS 5 Design Standard, but i get this error every time again,
(error "inconsistent database" on DVD installer) although i dont have any product on my disc (fresh formated and new system),
so it was useless to use the adobe cs5 cleaner tool (which i used to try, but there werent any things to remove)
- 10.8.2 on macbook pro i7
- installing CS 5 Design Standard from external USB-Superdrive (no superdrive in my macbook pro anymore)
next, i tried to duplicate the CS 5 Design Standard Installer DVD with Toast and made an image on my internal 500GB SSD,
but same error again, when trying to install from this image: "inconsistend database"
idea: can i download the "CS 5 Design Standard" Trial version and install that & register with my serial number?
(tried to find, but couldnt find any cs5 version at adobe.com)
thanks!

Moving this discussion to the Downloading, Installing, and Setting up forum.

Can't restore from Disk Utility while booted from OS installation DVD

I'm absolutely astounded by this.
I have a new MacBook Pro 17". I restored my files to it and in short order, had it too full/fragmented to re-partition it for Boot Camp.
So I decided to image the disk and store that image file on a FireWire drive, wipe the system disk and restore it cleanly from the image file backup, hoping that would result in contiguous blocks used so that I could then re-partition for Boot Camp.
When booted off the OS X for Intel DVD-ROM disc (10.4.6 - the one that came with my MacBook Pro), if I get out of Installer and into Disk Utility, if I select the internal hard drive and click the Restore tab, I can easily select the hard drive backup image with the button. But the "Destination Disk:" box is only accessible via dragging the disk to the box.
There's one little problem - there is no Desktop, so the disk(s) do not appear on the Desktop. There is no way to drag the target disk to be restored to into the Destination Disk: box. You cannot drag a disk out from the little sidebar inside the Disk Utility window over to the Destination box. I tried. You can't drag any disk anywhere from that sidebar. It's clear that the only way to drag a disk anywhere is if it's shown on the Desktop in Finder (which isn't running when the installation DVD-ROM is booted from). There is simply no way that I can find to restore a disk drive from a saved backup disk image when booted from the installation DVD-ROM.
Please tell me I'm ******** and missing something, or if there's a Better Way to do this. (I can't seem to run Retrospect while booted off the DVD-ROM, so I can't restore from my Retrospect full backup of the disk, either. Joy!)
(I'm really curious if there's a Better Way - especially because it appears I can't boot from an external FireWire or USB 2.0 drive, so I need something that will work in this extremely limited installation DVD-ROM booted environment, I think.)
MacBook Pro 17" dual 2.16 GHz ; Mac OS X (10.4.6) Booted from Mac OS X for Intel 10.4.6 installation DVD-ROM

You can use an external bootable drive with a MacBook Pro -- check your manual or the built in help. Your problem is that for some reason, you can't install a bootable system on one. There are several reasons why Installer won't enable you to do so: insufficient space, incompatible partition scheme (should be GUID) or file system (should be HFS+ or similar), or wrong installation option selected.
It is possible this is related to why you can't drag the startup volume to the destination box in Disk Utility. It must be an HFS+ variant file system.
I think you should check carefully with D.U. the partition scheme of all your drives & the file system format of all the volumes involved. Also run repair disk, as someone has already pointed out.
The behavior with the Restore function is not normal -- you should be able to drag a volume to the destination box from the list.

Cannot boot from OSX DVD - ACPI error

I am unable to boot from my OSX installation DVD. While booting I receive the following message:
Panic (cpu 0 caller 0x003A934F) Unable to find driver for this platform: ACPI.
I have tried re-installing the combo updater and flashing the PRAM, without any success.
Can anyone PLEASE HELP? My hard drive needs repair and I must boot from DVD in order to gain access to make the repairs with the Disk Utility.
Much thanks!

Will it run the Extended Tests from Apple Hardware Test (Boot while holding "D")?
If it won't boot from the install disk, it is not a problem with any software on your hard drive. It has to be a hardware problem; probably the DVD drive, since OSX is mostly working. If you have another Mac that can read DVDs and has FireWire, put the DVD in that Mac and boot it in Target Disk Mode (hold "T" while booting. Connect it to the Mac Pro with a FireWire cable, and boot the Mac Pro while holding Option. If the DVD shows up, select it and click the straight, right-pointing, arrow.
If that doesn't work, try booting the Mac Pro in Target Disk Mode (Boot while pressing "T"), connect it to another Mac via FireWire, and try to repair the Mac Pro disk with Disk Utility (Tiger version), or Disk Warrior (version 4 or later).
