Can anyone help me with this?

I had to rebuild my iMac after a hard disc problem and I now want to reinstall Contribute 2 from Macromedia.

The only problem is the install keeps failing.
I get to the point where I enter the Admin password which I know is correct and then it says it is Authenticating the Installer. But then it stops and returns to the main install screen having done absolutely nothing.

I have even tried to install it on my PowerBook but I have the same problem.

I have downloaded the software 3 times to make sure it is OK. I have checked the support forums on the Macromedia site and check the things they suggest, but still no joy.

Can anyone help ?

Sorry, can't help -- save to say I had exactly the same problem with the Contribute download for .Mac subscribers...

Trial version only. Just gave up in the end -- couldn't see any way of getting out of the loop...

Well I'm having daily emails from Micromedia Europe, but no solution at the moment!
