Installer Program not running

[eboo423]

I have a Macbook OS X that is about four and a half years old. One day, when I tried to open itunes, the itunes symbol came up on my dock, bounced a few times, and then disappeared. It won't open anymore. The same thing has now happened with the installer program. When I download anything and click on it to install it, the installer icon comes up on the dock, bounces a few times, and then disappears. How can I fix this?

Check the crash logs, ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/
as well as in Console.app

I've experienced this issue once or twice in the past. Just reboot your machine, and you should be OK.
