Sophos Anti-Virus Home Edition refuses to install. Errors on script.

I've been trying for the past 14 hours to install Sophos for my iMac... and well, it's just not working, it's Clearly an installer script issue... I know it's a free product, but I just had to post the details to show what I'm talking about...

Here's my console's output:

-------------------------------

Some assistance would be nice on this. And since the installer failed to istall the application correctly, now I can't use the unistaller to remove the application, which fails to work properly.

    Hello,

    I am trying to install Sophos for Mac Free Edition but when I launch it, it opens a web page : http://downloads.sophos.com/home-edition/savosx_80_he.dmg ... but gets stuck (just a black page) and nothing happens.

    Could you help me please ?

    Thks a lot in advance !


    That is a link to the disk image you've just downloaded with your web browser.  You'll find savosx_80_he.dmg in whatever folder your files download to.  If you're using Safari, you may even find the disk image has auto-mounted and an installer window is open in the Finder.

    Open the disk image, run the installer, and enter your administrator credentials when prompted.  You'll know it is installed when the shield with an S in the middle shows up in your menu bar and the installer says it is finished.
