Maya 2012 on Mac and installing on 10.7 and 10.8

2.  You will notice that you cannot install it and there will be the following error:

3.  In this instance, you just need to not select Direct Connect to complete the installation.  Direct Connect is used for Data Transfer within Maya.

4.  Maya 2012 will now run but it's not supported!
