Correct answer jeninok

Please see if you can locate the installer at System/Library/CoreServices.  If you are then please choose the Lightroom 4.pkg and go to File and select Get Info.  You will then want to adjust the Open With option to reflect the Installer.app located in System/Library/CoreServices.


After spending hours and hours with adobe support (before I saw your post, Jeff), I was finally given this path to change the "open with" selection:

System/Library/CoreServices/DiskImageMounter

This worked!  I was looking every where for "Installer" or something similar.

to clarify, the download "lightroom_4_LS11.dmg" file opens in disk utility; from there, the "lightroom 4" file opens as a separate drive and the file "adobe photoshop lightroom 4.pkg" and a pdf are the only files there.  the .pkg file opens in text edit.

Which version of Mac OS are you using?  The pkg file should be opening with the Installer.app program.

OS 10.7

The pkg file is labeled as "document" and opens in text edit.  In trying to select the app to open the file with, there is no "installer".
