iPhoto failed update to 2.0:

I recently deleted iPhoto 2.0 from my Tiger build that was an upgrade.

I restored iPhoto 1.1.1 from Cheetah, but when I go to update it to 2.0 (from the package I received from Apples download site) I receive an error after going though the installation dialogue: You cannot continue. There is nothing to install.

Any help is appreciated

IPhoto 2 is not an update -- it needs to be installed in its own right (then you can update it to 2.0.1 via the Software Update panel).

The entire iPhoto 2.0 application can be downloaded here. You'll then be able to update by Software Update as John mentioned.

Thank for the information

Unfortunately, even if I delete iPhoto 1.1.1 from my hard rive I still receive the same error when I attempt to install 2.0, You cannot continue. There is nothing to install.

I did notice that the installation dialogue seems to be correct with the exception that I am not prompted to type in an administrative password (although I am currently logged in as an administrator).

Is there something I am missing?

Go into your HD/Library/Receipts folder and delete all files with "iPhoto" in the file name. Then try the installer again.
