Can't install Aperture 3 from DVD on 10.8.3

I just picked up a new iMac, installed 10.8.3 (updated from 10.8.2 which is what it shipped with) and then popped in a DVD w/Aperture 3. When opening it said it had to reopen the installer (which is weird), and now when I select a destination disk the HD has a warning symbol with the message "Aperture can't be installed on this disk. The contents of this disk can't be changed."


What's going on?

On which drive are you trying to install Aperture? Your system drive or an external drive?


Aperture needs to be installed in the "Applications" folder on your system drive for updates to work. Are you running the installer using an administrator account? Otherwise you may not have the necessary permissions to install Aperture.
