To install Office, try signing in directly to the Microsoft 365 Software page instead. Select the language and bit-version you want (PC users can choose between 32-bit and 64-bit), and then click Install. See Steps 2 and 3 on the PC or Mac tabs above to help you with the rest of the install process. Re: will not install mcafee for mac; says there is incompatible software. You will have to manually remove them by going to the certain hidden folders on Mac Hard Drive. Go to /usr/local & remove VI2, SpaMini & McAfee folders. Go to /system/library & remove McAfee folder. Go to /library/application support & remove McAfee & Verizon for VISS folders. To install the latest software updates on your Mac computer please follow these steps. Click on the Apple ( ) menu in the upper left hand corner and then select the Software Update menu option. Jul 24, 2016 I ran into the same problem when trying to install a Gutenprint printer driver package for my Canon BJC-55 printer. But you can also install the package contents manually using Pacifist, which also verifies that all files have been correctly copied to their destination folders. Why did you uninstall MacTeX 2013? Not that doing so should cause problems. I'm just curious. Is there a checksum available which you can use to verify the download? Does MacTeX still include the software in the installer? Or does it now use the net install method? If the latter, is your internet connection good? – cfr Jun 27 '14 at 0:12.
I previously tried to install a new Version of iWork from the original DVD on a Mac of a collegue. After clicking through the installer, it displayed an error message 'No Software found to install.' (I translated this from German -- the original English message might be a bit different).
After some searches in different forums on the web, where I did not found a solution but several people with the same problem, I remembered something I read before while creating an own installer for another project with Apple Package Maker. The Apple installer searches the /Library/Receipts directory for existing older packages of the same software that should be installed.
The final solution to the problem was to completely delete all similar packages (in my case the packages for iWork, Pages and 'Keynote) from the Receipts folder. Obviously, there had been some older versions of iWork installed before, but they were deleted out of the Applications folder. Hopefully this hint will save some of you some valuable time in similar cases.
[robg adds: We've run some previous hints on removing specific items from the /Library/Receipts folder, but we've never run a general hint on the subject. So I thought I'd use this one as the general tip, too -- if you're having trouble re-installing something that was installed via the Apple Installer, check the Receipts folder. If you find a folder there for the app in question, move it somewhere safe (just in case!), then re-run the troublesome installer. If it works, trash the moved receipt. If it doesn't work, then there are other things going on...]
