MacOS – Mountain Lion installer doesnt start after reboot

installmacbook promacosupgrade

I am currently trying to install Mountain Lion and everything was going fine until it was time to reboot.

First I tried rebooting then it said i needed to close applications so I clicked the button to close applications and it hung for a few minutes then the installer crashed so I ran the installer again as it didnt restart on its own after clicking reopen application.
The installer immediately gave me the restart button as im assuming the file caching process was completed. Now, whenever I click the restart button it just restarts my macbook and the installer never kicks in. I've done this around 4-5 times now exact same thing each time.

I'm not sure if there are corrupt files in the installer cache or its sending the wrong reboot message but i havent been able to install it one way or another. any ideas?

Edit:

did a disk repair and permissions repair and turned off file vault still have same issues

the installer log after installation failed

I ended up figuring it out the restart issue still unresolved but doesn't really matter at this point as the second part I resolved on my own by doing a PRAM/NVRAM reset (command-option-p-r) at startup after this it installed fine I wish I had thought of that before wiping my Mac OS X partition.
