What is it you are trying to install and where did you get them from?

I am trying to install silverlight and flip4mac. I got them directly off the apple site.

Well you'll need to provide some information if you want some help. What errors are you getting? What version of Mac OS X are you running etc etc?

I am not getting any errors. I am downloading the files and double clicking on the package and nothing happens. I try to open it with installer and nothing happens. Intel, Mac OS 10.4.11
