Aperture won't install

[Sepp]

I tried to install Aperture, after I have done a complete uninstall, but the install process does not go any further than hitting the ok button after entering Name/Company/Serial. The rainbow colored circle remains on forever, so I have to force quit every time.

I wonder, if I deleted any important install files form OSX accidently?
What I did was uninstalling Aperture: I searched for 'Aperture' in the Finder window, and deleted all files which showed up!

Anyone a hint for recovering OSX/Aperture without having to do a complete fresh OS install?

your help is highly appreciated,

Thanks,

Joe

What exact Mac and Mac OS X and Aperture version where you using?

 

[Sepp]

Both the latest - Aperture is a trial from the Apple website, and OSX Snow Leopard 10.6

Try creating a new user account and seeing if you can install it that way.

You're iMac is more then enough to run aperture, and it sounds like perhaps something got corrupted.

I'd say go into ~/Library and look for aperture folders to clean up.

Before doing that, I highly recommend you have a current backup.
