[X-Newbies] Problem with install app.

[Al Poulin]

Brian:

Do you see a finely written message that says that the package "will  
be installed on...?"  Then a button should allow selection of other  
locations.  Also, could it be that some log or cache is full?  Long  
shot:  Repair Permissions in Disk Utility.  Are you doing this in an  
Admin account?

I think I would see what happens with an "Apple" package, perhaps an  
updater that you can download from their support tab.
