Error every time I try to install VS for Mac. Simply says 'Installation Failed'. When you click the details, it gives this message. In fact, in my last attempt at installing it I tried the Clean Install route with my iPod acting like the SL dmg - but the install failed halfway through again. It got farther along the installation than the other attempts but still failed. Also tried clean install with the original disc in but it failed also.
After upgrading an old install of I started getting errors connecting to the mac from windows visual studio 2012 on Win 7. So I uninstalled xamarin and rebooted. Performed normal install and then installer stopped with errors. Log file shows
