On double-clicking the Boinc Installer.app, the installer immediately quits, returning me back to Finder.

I'm on Mac OSX 10.8.5. My Boinc Manager is 7.0.25. The upgrade I am trying to install is boinc_7.0.65_macOSX_i686. The web-based results repairer says SETI@home v7 v7.00. The last contact was Oct 5.

I do not know which logs would be useful or helpful?

I moved your thread to Q&P as it wasn't a BOINC Manager problem.

Now then, as for your problem, it almost sounds as if you have a corrupt installer on your hands. Try to download the BOINC installer again, saving it to a different location this time. Wait until it's completely downloaded before starting the installer.

As for error messages, I'm sure that OS X logs everything that the programs on there do in some form of log or viewer. BOINC itself logs problems with itself to the std*.txt files, but these are useless in this case as they don't log what the installers do.
