Final Cut 7 will not install with disc

Hello,


Recently I was trying to upgrade to Final Cut 7 from Final Cut 6 with a NFR copy of Final Cut Studio V3 that I had received. I went through the installation process and I saw that Final Cut Pro was "grayed out" and not able to be selected at the beginning of installation. It's stated is noted as "Skip." So I thought this might be an issue since my previous version of Final Cut had a different serial number.


So I first deleted the serial number file associated with FCP 6. When I went to enter the serial that came with my version of Final Cut Studio, it would not accept my serial number.


So I launched the installation disk and noticed that Final Cut was "grayed" out even though I didn't have the latest version.


The last thing I did was try to get Final Cut 6 off my computer so that I could re-install it. I downloaded FCS remover and got rid of Final Cut 6. So when I popped in the installation disc, I was unable to select Final Cut to upgrade. Is there anyway NOT to "skip" the installation?


Now I have no Final 6 or Final Cut 7 on my Macbook Pro.... User uploaded fileI am very lost here -- if someone could help me proceed it would be great.

Yes I have already tried this.....FCP is gone. It's off my machine now but the installer will NOT let me reinstall. When I put the disc in, I keep getting this same message where it wants to "skip" the installation of FCP


I opened up FCS Remover again.....I noticed I only "removed" Final Cut Pro. Is there anything else that I should remove? I noticed that all the way at the bottom I have the option to choose "Shared Files" should I remove these as well?

Any luck figuring this out? I'm having the same problem trying to install it on my 27" iMac (that it stopped working on in the first place). Did the DR removal of everything and still no luck.


I guess if I want to keep using FCS I'll have to downgrade one of my machines to Lion and then try a re-install.


Must be something to do with the latest ML release.
