I am attempting to install Tiled Map Editor, a cross-platform open-source application that uses the QT application framework. It is used in game design.

When I attempt to install it, I get this error message:

You can't open the application Qt SDK Installer because it is not supported on this type of Mac

How can I resolve this problem? I am using Mac OS X 10.6.8.

Check to see if the application you are using is Intel supported. I don't know why a PPC application wouldn't run on an Intel, but try clicking on the application, go to File>Get Info, and under General>Kind, check to see what the application kind is.enter image description here

In my file->get info, "Kind = Disk Image", Is it correct and thanks for your feedback guys:) – Umair_uas Aug 20 '11 at 16:40
I'm sorry, I didn't realize that you were installing it from a dmg. Hmm...that is really puzzling. – daviesgeek Aug 20 '11 at 16:41
Yes. I was installing dmg format file because it is run with mac OS. Any problem with dmg file? – Umair_uas Aug 20 '11 at 16:45
I have never had a problem with a dmg file until this morning and it's not related to your problem. – daviesgeek Aug 20 '11 at 16:47

It would be helpful to know which version of OS X you're running.

  • You must have Xcode installed on your machine.
  • It's possible you have downloaded the 64bit version.
  • Verify you have the correct version.

I have updated the OS version in my question – Umair_uas Aug 20 '11 at 16:23
You should be fine with your OS version, so the next question is do you have Xcode installed? – l'L'l Aug 20 '11 at 16:31
Yas i have installed xcode – Umair_uas Aug 20 '11 at 16:37
Which installer are you using — the offline version or the online? – l'L'l Aug 20 '11 at 16:48
Yeah, check to make sure you downloaded the correct version. Where did you download/get it from? – daviesgeek Aug 20 '11 at 16:49
