You can look at the log of the installation: press "Command-L" at the first installation screen and the log window will appear (there's a menu entry, anyway, for it). – egreg Nov 30 '12 at 18:31
Also, have you checked your download? – Silex Nov 30 '12 at 19:25

This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet.

Thank you all for your answer, lockstep i will keep it in mind!

My problem was resolved simply with instead of downloading the .pkg from the Google Chrome download it from Safari.
