I had the same proble with the 10.2 disk image not mounting. Panther is not far away and I didn't want to spend more $'s. It's a total drag.

Hi there. Running OS X.1.5 and was happily using LW3.5.7 Pro. Notice to update, which I duly did. Alas, same problems as everyone else. Loading Core Components... doesn't, er, load.

Can't access the MacFixit article link that Steief posted in another thread either.

You updated from 3.5.7 to 3.5.8 and it stopped working? Sure you don't mean 3.4.something to 3.5.8?

You know, you got me thinking now... 3.5.8 Pro has replaced the previous Pro download I made... it was the last Pro update we were automatically offered... how irritating and embarrassing in equal measure... Sherlock isn't being much help either...

Anyhow, 3.5.8 Pro cannot get past Loading Core Components.

Could you try downloading 3.5.8 again and see if it works any better? We changed the configuration of the webserver so it can handle DMG files a little better when people are using Internet Explorer, and this might have a side effect that may fix some possibly corrupt downloads.

You could also try the 3.6.0 beta.

Thanks.

Tried 3.5.8 again. Downloaded almost instantly. Dragged to Applications folder on H.D. and tried opening it up. Got as far as Loading Core Components... eventually the beachball showed up and I Forced Quit.

Tried the beta app. 3.6.0. Took a while to d/l. Dragged to Applications folder on H.D. and tried opening it up. Got as far as Loading Core Components... eventually the beachball showed up and I Forced Quit.

Just to make sure it's not a DMG issue, can you try using the international installer instead?

Sorry about the problems, but thanks very much for helping us root out the causes.

Okay. Back in a few mins.

Alas, no difference at all. Gets as far as Loading Core Components...

... and no further.

No probs helping out where I can, btw.

Actually, would you like the err.txt? If so, where would you like me to send it?
