Can't install dmg files

Howdy. Long time Volunteer here first time poster. No, just kidding. I'm an old timer here!

Anyway, here's the sitch. Just upgraded my OS X to 10.4.9 from 10.3. Did not wipe and install, just updated the op sys. Anyway, since then I can't install any dmg files; basically free apps like TinkerTool. I get this error:

error 0xe00002c9

Why?! Is there a way to fix this? I've repaired permissions. I've done fsck -fy. I've rebooted. I'm practically a mac expert. This one is stumping me (and pissing me off!)

Any help appreciated.

I just found a hint here:

Of course even this security update file is a dmg which I can't open. Argh.

Looks like the mentioned security update comes in a .dmg

ed: here's the .pkg in a .zip
http://www.megafileupload.com/en/fil...v-pkg-zip.html

if that fails, reinstall is another option, possibly combo updater. Have you tried upgrading?

I just upgraded. Thanks for the zip link!

I'm at 10.4.11 and I'm skipping Leopard for a while.
