Attach install.log please.

[alfonso@…]

whereabouts is the log written to?

[blb@…]

Should be /var/log/install.log.

[alfonso@…]

excerpt of the relevant portion of install.log. At the time this was extracted, the installer was hung

[jmr@…]

Hm. It wasn't running one of our scripts at the time, so I don't know that there's anything we could do about it.

[blb@…]

Did you have the iPhone simulator running at the time? If so, could be like a  similar issue with Growl's installer.

[alfonso@…]

you are correct, the iPhone simulator was running. once it was closed everything worked fine. thank you!

You should add "Close the iPhone Simulator" to the install instructions page.
