Greetings, my name is Sukhmeet Sareen. I recently submitted a form requestion help for MacTeX installation. In the comments, I mentioned that I would include the install log in an email. I have included the install log below:


2023-04-04 20:36:11+01 Sukhmeets-MBP Installer[2601]: install:didFailWithError:Error Domain=PKInstallErrorDomain Code=110 "An error occurred while extracting files from the package “MacTeX.pkg”."

2023-04-04 20:36:11+01 Sukhmeets-MBP Installer[2601]: Install failed: The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.

2023-04-04 20:36:11+01 Sukhmeets-MBP Installer[2601]: IFDInstallController 22391C0 state = 8

2023-04-04 20:36:11+01 Sukhmeets-MBP Installer[2601]: Displaying 'Install Failed' UI.

2023-04-04 20:36:11+01 Sukhmeets-MBP Installer[2601]: 'Install Failed' UI displayed message:'The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.'.

(END)


Just to reiterate the MD5 sum matches the downloaded file and I have tried downloading this multiple times from different CTAN sites. I have also tried this with BasicTeX but I get the same issue.

Thanks for any and all help.

Kind regards, Sukhmeet
