I am installing a Macbook Pro with OS X Lion via the internet. The Mac is connected via a fast Internet connection.

It has been running for over 12 hours and athe end, I get the message "Can't download additional components needed to install Mac OS X".

This is my sixth attempt to no avail. What am I doing wrong?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)

you have a notebook but pisted in workstation tower forum and really want Lion forums

you have More Like This on Right, pointing to possibly you had 10.7.3 not the latest and it is downloading 10.7.4

3rd part firewall programs can also interfere. try a safe boot and turn off TimeMachine as well.
