I am currently running Boinc Manager 4.43 (GUI) with no problems.

I downloaded version 5.25, decompressed, double clicked on BOINC.pkg. When I get to the "Select a Destination" screen, it says it cannot install on either of my hard drives.

Below is the contents of the installer log:

(yes, Obiwan & QuiGon are the names of my drives)

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I had this problem when I tried to install it this morning, and after trying a couple o different things I noticed this at the start of the readme file:

Troubleshooting tip: The installer writes a file /Library/Receipts/BOINC.pkg. If the installer refuses to let you install, trash this file and try again.

I tried deleting that file and the next time it worked with no problems.

Thanks Tom.
Your suggestion solved my problem.
I deleted /Library/Receipts/BOINC.pkg, and then the instalation worked fine.
I am now running 5.2.5
Thanks again.
