Installer keeps crashing....

[wobegong]

Well I've swappped my machines around again being frustrated using Win8 as my main desktop and moved that to the TV - I Carbon Copy'd my Macdisk to the SSD (to put that back in the PM) and all seems to be working just fine except....if i run any Installer (for any program) it crashes.

I've googled a bit and tried a few things including the defacto Disk Manager Verify/Repair Permissions etc. but to no avail so left the machine this morning re-installing the 10.5.8 Combo update - had to use Pacifist to do this of course to get around the Installer crashing. I really hope this fixes the problem but if anyone has any ideas I'd be very grateful to hear them.

As I say apart from the Installer everything is fine and working perfectly so it's kind of weird....

Welcome back to the dark side...

If I were you, I would zero out the SSD and CCC again the Macdisk and then finally repair disk permissions.

Reformat your SSD, and clear your CCC, Try harder

Reinstall of 10.5.8 fixed it so guess I didn't have to

Thanks! Though I think it's the light side
