i found a thing on apple's website that says "installer update"
what more?? It's a .pkg itself!
go figure.
**SIGH**
couldn't somebody just.... e-mail me a copy of their installer...?
i'm going NUTS here.
for the best computing company in the world apple really does like to make things confusing and hard to fix...

Put it into your Utitlities Folder, it's a PowerPC Version of it obtained from my G3 Pismo running 10.4.11, delete the old installer app. When this one works then retry the adobe one!

Good Luck

okay this is really weird when i went to my utilities folder, the installer was GONE.
M I A, Gooone.

and then i put yours in there, ran it, and the same thing happened.

uhhh... did i get one of those renowned "impossible to get" mac viruses or did i completely mess up my computer somehow long ago?
arrgh i am ready to smash this computer lol but that would be a very stupid idea because of my budget.
so... what now? is the thought of installing ANYTHING... EVER a lost cause for me now?

out of some reason the installer is not present in my utitilities folder either. It is in Tiger though...maybe spotlight it? If you run it as an app, it surely wont display anything, it needs a package. Try the adobe package and tell me what happens

it just bounces and dies?? that is weird!
