Installation could not be completed

I'm having a problem installing snow leopard. After about 20 minutes of installing (1/4 complete) the installation stops and says in could not be completed. Provided is an installer log which shows the problem starting with:

Sep 4 19:19:24 localhost Unknown[88]: 2009-09-04 19:19:24.494 Mac OS X Installer[137:c70b] Looking for system packages

Sep 4 19:20:55 localhost Unknown[155]: Launching the Installer Crash Log Viewer
Sep 4 19:21:01 localhost ReportCrash[151]: Process: Mac OS X Installer [137]

After this is just line after line of "localhost Report Crash[151]:..."

I have no idea what it means and what to do to fix it. Any help would be appreciated

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Source = Clone
Destination = Hard drive volume
In SuperDuper language, you want to copy clone to your hard drive volume

Look at the SuperDuper options. Don't do an incremental copying. Do a full cloning/copying.

OK, and to be sure, you want what's on the clone on your internal drive, right?

SUCCESS!!...I don't know what was different about this one, but after I restored my Drive, I tried a regular upgrade for the **** of it and it worked!! I'm running smooth (so far as I can tell) with SL. Thank you all for the help
