Description:
Installation package fails to install with a message to contact the software manufacturer for assistance.  This occurs during / after the moving stage.

How to repeat:
Run installation package on Ysemite

Suggested fix:
Fix the installation, but first, provide an installation log so we can see what the problem may be.

I think I've figured this out.

When I download either the DMG or the tar.gz archive for Mac OS X 10.9, the contents are actually for Mac OS X 10.8 (NOT 10.9 like it says)

I'm downloading it from this page:

There were several bug reports for this issue.
 
The bug causing the installer to fail the installation on OS X 10.10 and
newer was fixed internally on October 9, 2014, before this bug was filed. We
have been providing packages that did not fail installation for all releases
that were built after that date.
 
Remaining issues on OS X 10.10 were fixed internally in June-July 2015.
 
I verified that we are currently providing packages for OS X 10.10 both for
5.7 and 5.6.
