Tried to install this plugin on mail but I get an installation error at the end.

I have snow leopard and mail.app 4.2. I have previously installed 3 plugins to mail which are letterbox, herald and attachment iconizer.
I disabled letterbox and herald but yet I kept having the same installation error.

Your assistance is highly appreciated. 

Still not working after uninstalling the add-ons

Hi,

I uninstalled all the aforementioned add-ons to mail.app and tried to install truepreview again. I keep on having the same error that there were some errors during the installation.

When I ran mail.app after this failed attempt to install truepreview, it is completely normal as if I did not even try to install truepreview and of course truepreview is nowhere to be found in mail.app.

Your feedback is appreciated on this.

Anything in the log?

Does anything meaningful show up in Installer's log (Window > Installer Log, change the Detail Level to Show All Logs)?

Hi,

I checked the installer log and it seems that it is not get some kind of permission. I have included below a snapshot of the error that I found:

Any thoughts on what to do?

Based on the LOG information, does anyone have any recommendations on how to resolve the issue?

Any ideas about the above log

Any ideas about the above log and what can be done?

Is /Users/Maher correct for

Is /Users/Maher correct for your home folder?  Do you have all of these folders in your home folder: Library, Library/Mail, and Library/Mail/Bundles?  If not, can you try creating whichever one(s) is missing and run the installer again?  Perhaps one of those folders is not getting created by the installer if it does not exist.

What you are saying is about

What you are saying is about the home folder is correct. I checked the different folders you mentioned and they all exist. Still it is not able to install. I tried this with the maill.app closed as well as open and still it is not working; any other suggestions?

I noticed that while

I noticed that while installing this software package, it never asks for my password or anything. It just proceeds directly with the installation and gives me the error message at the end.

Could this be something?
