Quicksilver Installation Problem Mac OS X Mavericks

[maximilian...@gmail.com]

Hi, 

I'm new to mac, so maybe it s a solvable problem:

I installed various applications, avast, browser expansions.

When it came to Quicksilver a problem occurred i couldn t solve or find a fix for:

12/01/14 18:50:28,206 Quicksilver[455]: Installing Quicksilver at: /Applications

12/01/14 18:50:28,240 Quicksilver[455]: releaseFromQuarantine

12/01/14 18:50:31,451 Quicksilver[455]: chown -R 0:80 /Volumes/Quicksilver/Quicksilver.app failed.

Tried it several times, after restarting too, checked for bad apps..

Update: Just tried to install it in "documents" and it worked.

Is this front applications permission changable? If how? What is this all about? :)

Thanks for any Help in advance, Max.

I see chown in the log there. Did you run chown yourself? If so, why? When installing Quicksilver there should be no need to do that. The system ought to simply pop up and ask for your administrator name and password if it needs them to make modifications to /Applications (e.g. by adding a new application). And if you did run chown, what parameters did you use? Depending on what they were, that could be interfering with Quicksilver's ability to execute properly.
