Error installing ProTools 8...

[Wallimann]

Hi everyone!
I just got a brand new Eleven Rack and am trying to install it on my IMac.
I am using Snow Leopard 10.6.3..

I keep getting the following message to the end of the install:

System extension cannot be used

The system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/DigidesignElevenRack.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an update.

The install seems to go through, but I just hate to have an install with an error message in it. I'd like a clean instal, you know...

I read somewhere that I should try installing the latest Pace driver from http://paceap.com/, but it did not fix the problem...

Is my DVD disc corrupted?

Help!

Hi,

I am having a similar problem. I am trying to install Pro Tools 8 (came with Mbox 2) on my Mac (specifications below). At the end of the installation process, I always get this massage:

The installation failed. The installer can't write the receipt for "Plug-In updates"

I have learned already that you need to download an update to Pro Tools 8.0.3 if you use Snow Leopard:

But, even following all this recommendation still results in the same failure message.

I spent 600 EUR on equipment two days ago and would like to get started. Being held up with the installation really sucks...

Please help!!!

Many thanks in advance

I've not had any problems with installation on my OSX 10.6.3 iMacs (2 of them) - BUT - I am using the PT install disc that came with 8.0.3 on it. I assume that the updates for Leopard are 8.0.3 as opposed to an update to 8.0.3?

Cheers

PS - you have run a repair on your disc permissions haven't you?

[Wallimann]

Unfortunately my instal disk is version 8.0...
I would upgrade to 8.03 if only I could install version 8.0 without any errors...
I did do a disk repair, but still getting errors...

This is frustrating!
I just got a brand new Eleven Rack and can't use PT yet... :-/

Ok, I fixed the problem.
I uninstalled PT8 completely, then ran the upgrade with my original PT DVD in the drive.
No errors!
Thanks everyone.
