I'm trying to perform a clean install of Mountain Lion on a MBP. I originally tried the "InstallESD.dmg" USB method. (I know the flash drive was good as I used it to install 10.8 on another laptop.) It gave me the "Can't download the additional components needed to install Mac OS X" error.

I then followed this

and it retuned this log message. Since I'm not learned enough to understand any of this I'm hoping someone out there is.

Thanks.
