Is there more detail in the Installer log? Can you add that to the report?

I certainly can, and could you let me know where can I find the Installer log?

Under the file menu in the Installer application.

Are you using a non-English localization?

Original comment by ms...@gmail.com on 17 Jan 2010 at 7:45

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I am using an English system, with region set to UK and with Japanese input 
methods
installed.

Ok, I'm stumped.

Have you tried:
  * re-downloading the archive and installing it?
  * installing it as a different user?
  * installing it from your desktop?

Hi.  I'm receiving the same error, except my error log is shorter.

Jan 20 00:56:55 Could not run InstallationCheck in the SIMBL package. launch 
path 
not accessible
Jan 20 00:56:56 Installation checks failed.
Jan 20 00:56:56  Installation check failure.  SIMBL cannot be installed on this 
computer.. An error was enountered while running the InstallationCheck tool for 
“SIMBL.”.

I am on 10.5.7

I tried re-downloading and installing from the desktop.

The only clue I have is that I have a couple of non-SIMBL wrapper like plugins 
on my 
system: Chax (for iChat), Warp (for Spaces), and NuFile (context menu).

I solved my problem 15 minutes later.  

I tried re-downloading it again and this time unpacked the tbz via the terminal 
(tar
xjvf ...) rather than using my unpacker, keka.

And it worked.  Keka must have been foobaring the file when it unpacked it.
