Hi - our Mac Mini was working fine for ages, right up to when I installed the latest iTunes version to get the AppStore. That installed fine. However, when I attempted to install the 10.5.3 patch or the mobileme installer, the installation process crashed with:
The installer could not install sime files in "/". Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
When I tried to run a disk utility repair permissions, that crashed, with some blather about an underlying task failing.
I did a Google and, while a common enough problem, I couldn't see a conclusive root cause or resolution. There was some talk of /usr/local/lib problems but I didn't have any of those issues.
Anyone had and solved this???
