Software Updates fail consistantly -Cinema Tools, Compressor

[kmccall]

There are two new updates available, Cinema Tools 2.2 and Compressor 1.2. When I try to peform the automatic software update (online) they both alwasy fail with the message:

"The Installation encountered a problem. None of the updates were installed. Choose dowload checked items in the Update menu and open the package from the Desktop".

I do this and then the same error message appears, however after closing in Software Updater the packages do appear on my desktop (CinemaToolUpdate2.2.mpkg and CompressorUpdateTool1.2.mpkg) ALONG WITH a bizarre file called @LongLink.

WHen I try to open the packages I get the eroor message:

"The Installer package can't be opened. It is either not executable or not readable".

Any ideas? I'm running 10.28 on a G5 1.6

The double whammy is that neither update appears on the Apple download site...?

Maybe you need to enter your serial number first or upgrade to Final Cut Pro HD 4.5?

Oops, looks like this update is good only for Panther, and you are running Jaguar.

Indeed it requires 4.5. I would have thought the Upadter was smart enough to know that i didn't have 4.5. But i think Apple's ulterior motive is to get me to at last upgrade to 10.3.2 first (as that is reuired as well, I only have 10.2.8).

Motivation to upgrade to Panther.
