I am guessing that you have downloaded the PPC version. The Intel Macs require a different installer.

I think you've stumbled on the installer issue that I thought was solved, but perhaps not. If the native Macintel version of Archicad is available as a student download, this should not happen.
What you have is the MacPPC version (which, sucessfully installed, runs fine in Rosetta emulation on the Macintels). There is/was however an installer issue in the PPC download. The PPC installer doesn't work on these machines.

I think people have had to resolve it by simply copying a complete working installation from a PPC machine onto the Macintel. This works.

But better still is of course to install the native Macintel version when it is available as a student download. If it isn't now, it surely will be.

how do i get a different installer

[Thomas Holm]

Not available separately. You have to choose the right package to download:

Hello, I have just bought the latest MacBook Pro 15, Processor 2.33 GHz Intel Core Duo, 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, and I installed archicad 9.0 full version, but when I tried to install AC 10 full version. It says: Can´t´install on this plataform, is there any upgrade for this MacBook Pro available??

Thanks,

David

Maybe your tried to install the non-Mactel version of AC on a MacTel computer.

Lazlo, that´s right. How can I get the MacTel compatible. My reseller needs to provide it to me? or there´s any download area that I have missed??

By the way, the version I have is AC 10-SPA-C2015 (build 987)

Yes, I think you need to obtain it from your reseller.
