on a different topic it seems that the people having problems with Dark Injection are those people that are on macs. I have nothing against macs, but I think it's a consideration in trying to find a solution.
The problem is related to the system (Mac OS) not the packages. Since I don't know anything about mac, I can't help. Sorry.
There was a problem with the DI file. Macs can't read it, so DI wouldn't work. I got my dad to fix it, but I'm not sure if that actually solved the problem. Every other mac user should do the same. Get a nearby person who knows a lot about programming on a mac and ask them to help.
EDIT: It worked! The package permissions have to be changed from readable to executable. That means that you have to tell the computer to change the file from a document page you can read to a program you can run in-game. Here's how you do it:
-Your DI package is probably in your downloads folder. If it's not, move it there until you've finished these steps.
-Open the application Terminal. This lets you access the Mac OS.
-Find the location of your package using the Terminal program. If you type 'ls' at the command line, Terminal will show you the files in the directory you are in. If you just launched Terminal, you'll be in your home directory.
-At the prompt, type:
cd Downloads/
You will have changed to the Downloads folder.
-At the prompt, type:
ls
and you'll see a list of all the files in our Downloads folder. Make sure the file 2011_DarkInjection_v.6.0.0.package is listed there.
-Now, you can change the permission on the file by typing
chmod ugo+x 2011_DarkInjection_v.6.0.0.package
This will make the file executable, which Spore seems to need.
-Put the file in the SPORE_EP1/Data folder, and you're good to go!
