CF 9 installer does not work on Mac OS Lion

So I'll try to setup CF 9 on my Mac under OS X Lion and, surprise, surprise, the installer will not work. I meet this wonderful problem on windows before, but can't remember how I solved it or I know it would be the same problem. Just to be clear, it is not an installation process has failed. The process is not yet start, Setup does not work. I know that maybe they do not support Lion, but even so, something should happen in the installer saying that the OS is not taken in charge or something.

I checked the logs from the Console, and this is the error that is coming:

MacBook com.apple.launchd.peruser.501 [94] ([0 x 0-0x2a6ba69]. (ColdFusion 9 install [96113]): posix_spawn ("/ users/tmessier/downloads/ColdFusion 9 Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/adobe_cf",...): permission denied

No idea what it really means, I always run facilities in this same directory and never had a problem. I'm guessing that maybe it is trying to copy the installation files to archive somewhere and execution of this directory and fails, but do not know how to fix this problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

I installed ColdFusion over 100 times on many operating systems and do not remember ever having a problem. So, I find your difficult bitterness. I get as frustrated with people who get immediately outraged a problem like this, especially when trying to make something that is clearly not supported.  CF9 is not compatible with the Lion, so try not to get so frustrated with Adobe when you try to do something they never claimed that you should be able to do.

That said, I'll try to help.

First of all, are you aware that the Lion does not come with Java?  Have you installed it?

Second, have you check the permissions on the installer execute. Who owns the file? It does not matter if you have run the installer from the directory before, files can have their own authorization. Maybe something with your got buggered. Worst case, you could just put it to 777 (remember that a .app is a package, you must recursively process the file permission changes.  chmod - rf 777 ColdFusion\ 9 Installer.app).

You can always try to download the file again.

Hope that helps. If it is not could you also want to check this out: http://superuser.com/questions/361475/com-apple-launchd-com-apple-launchd-peruser-error
