is there a work around to install mountain

I want to install Mountain Lion on my just-under-wire older MBP.
Any Ideas on a work around?--even force? ;-0

No need for a work around.
Assuming you don't have a legal copy of Mountain Lion, I suggest you buy a legal copy of the installation media and install the OS that way, that is if your MBP meets the technical requirements.

Sounds like your MBP is 32bit and Mountain Lion only goes 64bit. Some have tried but suggest not hacking your MBP as no upgrading of graphics:-

Well My Friend -Mcbie:

I did download from the Apple App Store, but it won't let me install,,,
OF COURSE because my machine is just under the wire--I spoke to a tech 2 tier about this and he said they wont support it even though it would work--
HEY! my machine is 5/6 years old--they arent supporting anything I have now so- its a moot point on support. I just want the MT Lion to run my apps

the rub is the things not supported I don't want or need ANYWAY.

and BTW my machine is a 64 bit machine 2.33Ghz 17" Intel Core 2 Duo--with 3GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM-- at the time I purchased it it was the Bad Boy of DT replacements...

Which is why I ask the question-- of FORCE-- the graphics don matter to me and hacking my own MBP-- my business- its held together by tape anyway- it was damaged in an auto accident, and I cant work from the pain and I don't have a Mac that suits my needs-- even if it does Shut down at odd times, hum and has a dead battery, yada, yada, yada.

At any rate thank for the input guys....
