Installed 10.3
Upgraded to 10.3.2
Ran "10.3.9 combo update". It installed but gave me the black "restart" box after finishing.
Restarted. All appears normal and "about" says 10.3.9 is running.
Now, no programs will install. Not a one. Clicking on the installer package yields a growth of the icon, a momentary blip on the "dock" and then nothing.
Why?
