Are you sure you're getting the right update? There is one version for Mac OS X Server, and one for regular Mac OS X.

This is the one you need:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdate1042combo.html
(just click the little size link ["58MB"] on the right-hand side of the page)

Is this a retail version of Tiger you're using to install? Is it possibly an early pre-release version of Tiger?

i downloaded and doesnt want to install..

my friend came over and installed it for me......he moved away and i cant contact him to find out what happened....is there anything i can do??

Do an "About this Mac" from the blue Apple menu, then click where it says "Version 10.4" -- it should change into different text. When you see "Build 8A24" or something like that, make note of that text... what build is it?

build 8A425...is that bad?

That's a pre-release version of Tiger, available only to paying Apple Developer Connection members. It's not intended for public use, but was leaked out illegally to file sharing sites/networks. That's most likely how your friend got it -- illegally.

You will need to purchase a retail copy of Tiger if you wish to be able to update it in the future.
