There are many things that can go wrong with a SIS installation package and unfortunately the software installer component provides no logging mechanism for developers to be able to precisely pinpoint the point of failure. Even the errors returned by the installer engine are filtered out so that the UI layer gets the minimal set of rather generic error messages to display for the user. But while “Unable to install” tells all the user needs to know about the fact that the application will not show up in his/her Applications menu, that message offers no hint as to what exactly the application developer should be fixing in order to have a successful install.

Over time developers have created a comprehensive list of error messages and possible resolutions for the problem. In this blog post I will provide an up-to-date and hopefully complete list of errors as well as a nice little hack that will allow a bit more detailed resolution of the root cause of the error.
