I am tryng to upgrade from OS X 10.4.11 to 10.5.2.
The error message reads: "This software cannot be installed on this computer."

12" iBook G4(white) 333MHz, 1.2 Gig Ram
 
"This software cannot be installed on this computer."

This is the exact error you get when trying to use a grey Restore DVD from one type of computer on another which is against the EULA: the restore DVD is only licensed for the machine it shipped with.

Try again with a legal, retail copy of Leopard.
 
10.5 requires a 867MHz or higher processor.
EDIT: I'm guessing the OP has just downloaded to 10.5.2 installer from the Apple site? Doesn't work like that I'm afraid...
