Eureka!

My Faith in this list has been justified - again.

Nigel Kersten came to my aid and it was my own error that was the problem.

The technique described at <<http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20040117235423466>>

Namely;

renaming /System -> Library -> CoreServices -> ServerVersion.plist will allow the installer to run successfully.

Type the following in a Terminal window to rename the file -- don't forget to change it back after installation, or Software Update may break (among other things)!
 % sudo mv /System/Library/CoreServices/ServerVersion.plist \
 /System/Library/CoreServices/ServerVersion.plist.bak
Type your password when prompted, then start the installer. When the install completes, hop back into Terminal and do:
 % sudo mv /System/Library/CoreServices/ServerVersion.plist.bak \
 /System/Library/CoreServices/ServerVersion.plist
to revert the file back to its original name. Enjoy iLife 04!!!

Does work, its just that I tried the command on one line (reflecting my lack of UNIX knowledge) when it should be written over two apparently.

Typing the following as a single line does work:

sudo mv /System/Library/CoreServices/ServerVersion.plist /System/Library/CoreServices/ServerVersion.plist.bak

Note: there is a space between "/System/Library/CoreServices/ServerVersion.plist" and "/System/Library/CoreServices/ServerVersion.plist.bak"

As a result I now have iLife '05 running quite happily on OS X server 10.3.7.

Hopefully this fix will still work for 10.4 when it arrives.

For what its worth you can install iPhoto, iTunes, iMovie and GarageBand directly using packages on the DVD but iDVD will refuse to install unless you carry out the above. --
