Hey Tim,

The installer fails on macOS Sierra:

If there is something you'd like me to test, let me know.

Cheers,

MacOS Sierra is still in beta, and I don’t plan to address any compatibility issues with the new OS until it is officially released.  For now, my recommendation is this:

(1)  Open the VUWER disk image, and click on the Platypus app.  (You’ll need to control-click to open the program, since Gatekeeper will complain that the program is from an unidentified developer.)

(2)  Once Platypus is running, use its drop down menu to go to Platypus preferences, and install the command line tool manually.

(3)  Run VUWER Setup again.  With the command line tool already in place, the rest of the installation should proceed normally.  If it does not, let me know.

As an alternative, I would suggest that you copy the contents of the VUWER disk image folder to your desktop, and run VUWER Setup from there.  That error message is indicating an unusual directory sub-structure that may be causing issues.

Hi Tim,

I completely understand that this doesn't work on macOS Sierra and I can wait until you officially support Sierra, of course.

However, I tried doing as you suggest.

• I installed the Platypus command line tool as you suggested and it shows that it is installed.

• When I try to run the Vuwer Stup again, it has the same error.

• If I run Platypus again, the Platypus command line tools shows that it is no longer installed

The above happens if I run from the disk image or from a folder on my desktop.

Cheers,
Gervais

This error could be due to a bug in the osascript interpreter in macOS Sierra which will be corrected in a later revision.  It is too early to worry about it right now.

But one thing I could suggest:  are you by chance running McAfee Endpoint Protection on your Mac?  Because if so, that would explain why Platypus is not being installed.  McAfee is generating a false positive and attacking Platypus because some idiot malware writer decided to use the Platypus wrapper to create the new Eleanor backdoor trojan.

If McAfee is the problem, turn it off, install VUWER, and then you can turn it on again once VUWER is running.

I'm not running McAfee. I'll wait until macOS is final.
