cant install on G5 Mac running OS 10.6

Postby antferrara on Tue Nov 03, 2009 7:57 pm

I get an error message reading "You can't open the application "VLC.app" because it is not supported on this architecture" I am not a techie. Can somebody tell me- in laymans terms- what this means and what I need to do to install?
Is this a cryptic message that means that the software is not suported by OSX 10.6 or perhaps that it only runs on Intel based MAcs?
Somebody please help. thanks,
Ant

1) Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard will not run on a G5 because it is Intel (x86/x86_64) only.

2) Download the 1.0.3 PPC version and it should run fine.
