Cannot install updates of OS X 10.6.3 or any other software
I just have just successfully installed Snow Leopard 10.6.1 from a CD. I then tried downloading various updates for 10.6.3 both manually from Apple web site and using Software update. I have also tried updating my Skype, RealPlayer and Flash Player. Everytime I try and install updates or upgrades I get an error message such as "image data corrupted" or "invalid checksum". I have tried repairing my hard drive using an external startup disc and Disk Utility (it was apparently Ok and no repair needed) and I have repaired permissions 4 times. Still I get the error messages. I also performed a Safe Restart at some point. The only possible clue I have as to the source of this problem is that when I repair permissions there is a message which may or may not be related:
"Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/Remote Maagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgent" has been modified and will not be repaired." I have no idea what this means, whether it could be causing my installation problems, or what to do about it. Anyone have any ideas please??
