Application won't install

[mattpreston11]

Apologies in advance if this has been brought up before, I have searched but not found anything.


Basically I have an iso image with an application I'm trying to install. I have installed it previously but it did not work properly. I have now deleted all the files associated with it.

However when i launch the installer (from the .iso) the launcher bounces briefly then disappears.

Any clues?

Thanks

Have you tried these steps yet?

To manually remove an application and all associated files:

1. Launch Finder and search for the app name (hopefully unique, such as Skype)
2. You can narrow the search to specific folders or search your whole Mac
3. Searching "File Name" vs "Contents" usually provides better results.
4. Click the + button below the search term to add criteria
5. Click the "Album" drop-down and select "System files"
6. Click the "Don't include" and change to "include"
7. Sort by name, kind, date, etc. to identify components of the app, such as folders, .plist files, cache files. etc.
8. Delete all files and folders related to the app.
9. Don't empty your Trash until you've determined that everything is working OK, in case you need to restore something you deleted by accident.
10. A reboot might be necessary to completely remove some apps.

And what application are you talking about?

Hello

Tried that, and deleted all files which appear to be related to it. Same issue though, open the iso and click "launch installer" but it just bounces a few times and then disappears.

My computer today has been pretty flakey, alot slower than usual, plenty of spinning beachballs. Not sure if this is related.

I am trying to install Football Manager 2011 btw.

Thanks

Matt


EDIT: Might be the .iso file was corrupt, I am currently installing it off the copy on my laptop and it appears to be working fine at the moment.Schoolboy error really.
