Corrupt Mountain Lion File @ App Store?

Uninstalled VB X6, resatarted 2 times and still does (NOT) work.

😠

after I have uninstalled VirusBarrier I have deleted the folder com.apple.appstore in /var/folders/rx/...../C/

same error after uninstalling VB X6, deleted the folders as mentioned above,

works, download is running....

:-)

I have uninstalled VB X6 using the uninstalled from Intego, restarted my system, still does not work!!!! Where do I find the folder you mentioned?

My folders were /var/folders/tz/.../C/

I think it is the only "C" folder you have rights to?

Just look in /var/folders for the folder com.apple.appstore;

Should be under ..../C/com.apple.appstore

Just in case, make a backup :-)

no reboot required

Make all files visible or use EasyFind browser.

It should look something like mine:

It worked for me too, but still cannot download. It says that can't access my account info and the icon is waiting:

Good luck!

server is busy, got the same message,

after few minutes download is running....

I went into VirusBarrier X6 preferences, disabled the protection, deleted the appstore folder from /var/folders/.../C, and now Mountain Lion is downloading.

No need to uninstall VB, just disabling did the trick for me.

Will work 100%:

1. Delete all in the folder /var/folders/.../C

2. Delete VirusBarrier X6 and all other Intego apps, use the deinstalling instructions on Intego's website

3. Restart AppStore

4. Purchase any app (like 0,99$) on Mac AppStore

5. Purchase Mountain Lion

OMG.....I am really new to all these. Having a hard time locating that folder. Try using the EasyFind browser but it is showing a different location and I cannot delete that because something is using it. Now can someone show me, a dummy, how to locate this folder and delete it....

Press cmd+shift+g and type path in

If you type in "var" (w/o the quotes) in EasyFider it will give you about 7 results.

Use same criteria (radio-left panel)

Pick the one is Lion>private>var

Then continue to open foders up to C/com.apple.appstore

Make sure that ther is not red circle on the folder (➖)

Most important: Make sure Appstore app is not running when you try to delete the folder. Otherwise will say that the files in the folder are in use.

Good luck.

Uninstalling VB X6 seems drastic, what about turning it off or allowing all incoming connections? I just used the App Store to update six apps with no problem. Only problem is connected to Mountain lion.

I'll give uninstalling VB X6 after I try a few other things.

Yeah!!

I have uninstalled Virus Barrier X6 and IT WORKS!!

You would think by now Apple should be giving it us free. Spent whole day trying to apply all suggested solutions, including downloading 10.7.4 again and reinstalling, plus uninstalling Virus barrier X6, plus, plus - none work

Where is apple in all of this? Thanks to all who have suggested options.

cheers - sit back and watch the Olympics!

I too was getting the "The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed." message.

As advised by the postings, I did the following:

Quit the App Store app

Moved the "com.apple.appstore/" folder to the Trash

Opened Intego X6

Deauthorized Intego X6 apps

Restarted the computer

Relaunched the App Store app

The error message was gone and I was now able to purchase Mountain Lion

Thanks!
