I recently got a kernel panic, re-installed Snow Leopard (10.6.4) and as a result had no administrator account. I reset the root or whatever and got through that problem. Now I go to re-install my applications through the DVD and instantaneously after I hit install it doesn't even begin installing and I get the message
"The installation failed. An unknown installation error occurred. The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
