The Samba installer from SMBUp doesn’t complete. How to install Samba manually?
Sometimes the integrated Samba installer from SMBUp may hang in the “Preparing to Install…” section. When this happens, if you’ve been waiting for activity for more than 10 minutes, you can safely force-quit SMBUp and install manually.
To be able to install manually you can check if you have a Samba installer disk mounted on your mac and use the installer in it or, if you prefer, download Samba from here and use it instead.
Download Samba 3.2.15 installer for Mac OS (DMG/PKG)
now i tried this and its the same "Preparing to install" but now i wait for 10 minutes.....wish it would function

So i tried now everything....but it ist not possible to install Samba completely.
i uninstall smbup and delet all files from my iMac, after that i download it again and install SMBup and it works, after SMBup i try to download SAMBA but the same shit comes again, i open the SAMBA file press to install and the Samba file was finished installed but the window with the "preparing installation" don't go forward and so i can't click on the "create sharedrive" button.....i think i could never use mrmc on my Apple TV too look movies from my iMac on my Apple TV with MrMc.....
is there an other option to use MrMc to look Movies from my iMac?
