update: after you replace the installer.app, u can go into installer and uninstall some applications, then update successfully :)

crashing installer app here on 1.1.2. DOH!

not replaced yet. uninstall any apps or are there specific apps that should be removed when I retry the update?
 
How would I FTP to it without the SSH service installed on the Ipod? Seems like you can only get it from the installer app.

Also, what's with all you people saying your installation worked fine? Get out, it's cluttering up the thread :)

ok i've downloaded the file and tried uploading it with CuteFTP 8.0 Pro.

but everytime i ry it says:

ERROR:> [2/3/2008 12:40:46 PM] Child transfer failed.

anyone know what to do, i really want installer to work again
 
I removed the apps that hadn't installed correctly and also removed the installer and replaced it with the one provided in the above link.

The problem I now have is that whenever I try and install an app I get "Error: Main script execution failed!"

Does anyone know how to correct this? I am running 1.1.3

I found a solution to my own problem! Thought I would post it here incase anyone has encountered a similar error message:

Open Terminal
type ssh root@IPHONE’S IP ADDRESS
hit enter
enter password (will appear invisible, but it’s there!)
hit enter

then start… do each line separately, followed by hitting enter.

cd /
cd Applications/
wget http://repository.apptapp.com/packages/System/Installer.zip
rm -rf Installer.app
unzip Installer.zip
chmod +s Installer.app/Installer
chown -R root:wheel Installer.app
rm Installer.zip
