Existing users, 
Update will not install. I currently have OSX 10.5.5 running fine. Install hangs up at the point "Configuring Installation". I shut off power via the power switch and restart from scratch. Restarts OK. Anyone with similar problems?? I have an iMac duo, 2.16GHZ, 1GB memory, 250 GB hard drive, with 250 GB external storage using Time Machine.
Thanks,
Apple Mac OS X
Snow Leopard operating system.

10.5.6 update - rolandgust
Same problem here, original Intel iMac running 10.5.5, 10.5.6 update stalls at the "Configuring Installation" window after clicking Restart.Monday, December 15 2008 @ 03:39 PM PST
10.5.6 update - jazzmanpete
Yes, same problem here too. Called Apple. They said to wait a few days this was perhaps the cause of a busy server.Monday, December 15 2008 @ 03:43 PM PST

Worked fine for me although it did take quite a while to complete the install on my iMac G5 PPC. I just waited -- everything came out fine..Monday, December 15 2008 @ 05:16 PM PST

mrbjclark -- I had the exact same issue as you. It hung at configuring installation, I had to do a hard restart but so far everything seems fine but I'm still at 10.5.5. Guess I'll wait and see what's what before I try again.Monday, December 15 2008 @ 06:14 PM PST

I didn't have any issues, but I have read about this before. it's not hanging, it's just taking a very long time for some systems.Monday, December 15 2008 @ 07:48 PM PST
10.5.6 update - loehman
Did the same thing to me - hung on "configuring installation." After an hour, I force-restarted it and it rebooted normally. It still says 10.5.5. Go figure ....Monday, December 15 2008 @ 07:52 PM PST

Same issue here on my MacBookPro 2.6Ghz, 4M RAM. I have been running 10.5.5 just fine and have never had a problem with any update.Hangs on "Configuring Installation" every time (and like someone else here, I waited over an hour). I used Software Update. I can still boot to 10.5.5 without any issues.

After having this problem, I repaired permissions, then downloaded the ComboUpdater from Apple's website. It contains a package installer, which I ran and it worked fine. No problems encountered so far under 10.5.6.Monday, December 15 2008 @ 11:23 PM PST

This same thing has happen to me on two different computers: A Mac Book Pro and a G5 -- both running 10.5.5. This is the first time I've had an issue with a software update, but this is a doozy.Reply to This
