everything else seems fine. i downloaded a program that extracts pkg's, (called "pacifist") and i got the driver installed. the device still isnt working unfortunately. i'll get it, eventually.
thanks for the advice, i appreciate it

Megatron. Have you tried launching Installer and opening the File?

Applications > Utilities > Installer

yes, and the program itself wont even launch. i tried using the installer program from another version of osx on a different drive, and it did the same thing, wouldnt even launch.

thanks for replying. i know its not a corrupt download, because i took it off the installer CD. I've tried copying it to the desktop, launching it straight from the disk, and downloading it from versiontracker. ive repaired disk permissions lately, too. i couldnt find a log for just the installer program, i did find this in the main console log, maybe it can give a clue:
Installer[424] Unable to load nib file: PagedInstaller.nib, exiting
Dec 27 13:35:48 -----Computer /sbin/autodiskmount[203]: UnmountDisk('disk2s1s2') unmount('/Volumes/PowerMate CD') failed: 16 (Device busy)
----
i think its just saying it was having trouble ejecting the cd here.
oh, it also came with a version for os 9, that installed just fine. i downloaded a copy of USB overdrive, and it has the same problems, an unopenable pkg file. can i reinstall the installer program?

i've had this problem installing software, I'll get to a point where i need to open a pkg file, which never opens. this has happened with downloads like an itunes update, and now i cant install the software for my powermate. anyone know how to fix this?   it might be a problem with the installer program, which refuses to launch.
