[G4] Re: iLife installation worked (Thx Alex)

[Anthony Kluck]

Greetings, Thanks very much for the help Alex -- I finally wound up at 
the Apple support site (where i should have begun my search for 
assistance) and found that there is a documented workaround for the 
installer issue. You have to install off the CD, not the DVD and select 
the installer crate, then go under FILE and select "Select Original" to 
run each individual program installer separately. That worked, and I am 
now upgrading my iPhoto and iMovie software as I type this.
