When I click install from within the installer, I get the following error:

"Couldn't write bom to path. Please try installing again."

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Tony

I know I've read about this problem over in the Mac OS X Developer forums. So be sure to search for it there.

I have the same problem, so I am dead-in-the-water now.

originally, I downloaded it with the OSX IE, and had the bom problem. I re-downloaded it with the OS9 IE and subsequently had no problems. Also, I have OSX on a pure UNIX drive, and OS9 on a Mac drive. Perhaps, the package prefers to be installed from an OS9 drive, I don't know, but it worked last night.

I had the same problem and it was caused by Stuffit. I havn't tried the new version but the version shipped with osx couldn't unpack it correctly. If you looked at the size of the installer it was way to small. The soulution was to unpack the tools using standard unix tools such as gnutar.
So open up a terminal navigate to the downloaded file and write

gnutar -zxvf filename

Where you replace filename with the name of the downloaded file. Good luck.
