pk3 is not an installer package - it's an archive of maps/textures/weapons for Quake III based games (see here).

I've been following your threads and I have to say that there is no way you could have screwed up your OS X install this bad and still have a usable machine. Either you're lying to us or you have a machine that defies the rules of proper operation. If, for some reason, you have a machine that works despite not having directories and files essential to basic operation, you should really reinstall OS X. Make sure to backup your files first before you do so.

Take it back to your school and tell them all the problems you are having.

Some members don't respond to people who don't use proper grammar/punctuation. Just a tip! It will also get more notice if you put it in the correct forum. Looks like this belongs in Applications and Games.

On top of this, we offer solutions that utilize programs that we know you have on your machine but you continually tell us that you don't have those pieces of software/directories available.

How do you accidentally throw out Installer? Did you just go through your Mac and delete files randomly? Did you not think at some point that doing so may not have been a good idea? I'm done here.
