Error: You cannot install Google Ads Editor on this volume (Mac OS X Snow Leopard)

You might see this error message if you try to install an older version of Google Ads Editor after having installed and then uninstalled a newer version.

To resolve this issue, choose one of the following options:

Option 1 (try this first):

Open Terminal, then type the following, where n.n.n is the number of the newer Google Ads Editor version that you installed and then uninstalled:

cd /Library/Receipts
rm -rf Google Ads-Editor-n.n.n.pkg

Now try installing the older version again.

Option 2 (if option 1 doesn't work):

You'll need su privileges for this option. Open Terminal, then type the following:

sudo pkgutil --forget com.google.adwordseditor

Now try installing the older version again.
