Applications Install DVD Problem

Hi everyone, I had to install snow leopard over Mountain Lion due to Garage Band not finding it's packages (loops etc). However, when I try to run the Applications Install DVD, I get an error (see screenshot). Is there any way I can fix this, as that is the only copy I have of iLife etc.

PS, I know the Product states "MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion", but this is only a temporary install of Snow Leopard, so I would like to apologize for the confusion.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion

Screenshot's not loading here.

Attach it to your post by using the camera icon and browse to the shot, then lick 'insert'.

If it's the one I think it may be (expired certificate), the workaround is to go to System Preferences > Date and Time > Date and Time tab.

Uncheck the automatic setting option, then change the date to something before March 2011.

You can revert to auto when you've done the install.

Thanks a lot for your reply. After rinsing the DVD and installing all available updates, the installer decided to work. Now I'm installing updates for the software which had just been installed, and will then reinstall Lion and then Mountain Lion.

Thanks a lot for your fast reply 🙂
