Installing FCS2 on MBP
-
Well, I ended up taking me system back up FW drive and install FCS2 on it and then totally erase the laptop drive. Everything works except for compressor. I quits on launch.

Man, sacci, what a pain. Sorry for you troubles.
FWIW I am having a really hard time installing Adobe CS3 on a MBP, looked it up today and reinstalling the OS was the advice. Yikes.
Hopefully this will help you:

And this is why you do this in-between project – as much of a pain it is nothing is pressing this week.
Was just going to head to apple to see what they had posted, thanks for the link.

This might be a real pain in the arse, but it works. If you extract all of your DVD installer discs to a .cdr image for each via disk Utility onto a FW drive, I find the installation process goes much smoother and faster. You can mount all of the images all at once and just let it go.
Mount DVD, select and copy name of DVD, open Disk Utility, select the most indented volume, click on the new image icon [picture of disk image with a + sign], change the Image Format pop-up menu to from compressed to DVD/CD Master, make sure the Encryption in the menu below says None, target image to FW drive, paste orig name onto file, save.
it will take a while for each disk since they are dual layer, but worth it in the long run. I have much better install integrity this way.

I would start over with a clean format of the hardrive using zeros and make sure it is also journaled. Then install OSx. THEN do the software updates from the web. It needs to be updated. Then install FCS2 last without the extra content in a custom install.

Just curious, do you have the Safari 3.0 Beta installed?
-
Yes I do have Safari 3 installed.
The last thing fixed was compressor and following the Apple paper gave me the fix. In the process of wiping the drive clean and restoring for my back got the install to go through which I needed for compressor. So in the end all is good, some benefits of doing it the hard way was I have a optimized/defragmented system drive on Laptop. Cleaned out and organized my files. Best of all found 30GB of hidden files of Qmaster render cache.
So all is good, thanks for all the pointers everyone.
