Can't install the new Safari beta

I've got a problem installing Safari beta 3.

I am always told "You cannot install Safari Beta 3 on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."

Any ideas what is going on? I have plenty of space. That isn't the problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

iMac Intel Core Duo, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Hi

Welcome to Apple Discussions

Safari must reside in the top level of the Applications folder for the installer to work. If you put Safari in a sub-folder, or moved to a different location, then return it to the correct location, then try the Installer.

If at any point you choose to revert to Safari 2.0.4, you must use the Uninstaller that is found in the Installation package. Any other method will create havoc in the operating system.

With either the Install or Uninstaller, do not use the computer while it is running. You'll be instructed to restart the computer once it completes.

Hello rumpel:

There will be some disagreement on this (including, probably, from my colleague Starman - [chuckle]) , but I would not (or think long and hard before you) install any beta software. Look at the wikpdia definition of beta software and also the posts in the special Safari 3 for Mac forum before you proceed.
