OS X: “Please try installing again”
It’s like this message has become a feature of OS X.
You download a .dmg, double-click and expect that all your files should be an exact copy of the original install files. And yet, sometimes, you get stuck with this message.
Here is a very simple fix that works 90% of the time: make sure that your post-install script can be executed!
Open a shell window, go to where your package is, and type:
chmod a+x yourpackage.pkg/Content/Resources/postinstall
Of course, replace ‘yourpackage,pkg’ with the package’s actual name.
