1) Message boards : Questions and problems : Impossible to re install Boinc Manager [OS X] (Message 86623) Posted 19 Jun 2018 by teo_paris Post: Hi, thanks for your interest and your answers. Uninstaller failed too. But I've succeed to re install everything. If it can help other users or developers, it was a problem of authorizations (my system authorizations were damaged somehow when installing 3rd parties software). The crippled system 10.95 seems to be unable to write where Boinc has to write informations and send me this alert. Every tempted repairing actions failed with OnyX or Disk Utilities (for Boinc and other app as well). As I had installed a new 10.10 on a external SSD drive, the system was apparently unable to write something as well even when I booted on the external drive. Once I carboncopycloned this new system on my SSD internal drive, everything came alright and I can crunch again. Thanks again to everyone :) Olivier

3) Message boards : Questions and problems : Impossible to re install Boinc Manager [OS X] (Message 86531) Posted 12 Jun 2018 by teo_paris Post: Hi, Olivier from Paris, here (excuse my not so good English). I've been using Boinc now for years, without any issues. Two weeks ago, I have a serious crash under 10.9.5. I tried to reinstall my OS upon it, it works - I could boot and work for a moment- but some apps won't launch or re install, like Boinc. Apparently it was a problem of authorizations. https://www.dropbox.com/s/3vfdoa2s2fyrh23/boinc_issue.png The alert message says "that the installation program is damaged and that it can open the package, probably due a problem of authorizations" I tried to download again and again, try to fix the authorizations in the Disk Utilities, nothing same message again and again. Same effects after using TechToolPro and DiskWarrior. So I re install the OS from a former back up. Same error. So I thought it was a problem of corrupted files. I had to do a clean install (my Adobe Illustrator won't launch and I need it every day). So I did it (I had to upgrade to 10.10 for a long time, but thought it can wait when I'll have some time this summer) and it took me some times (and it is not even on the same drive / SSD). And this morning, I tried again… and same message. I tried to dowload it again twice, then the former version, then the version before that (boinc_7.6.34_macOSX_x86_64 / boinc_7.8.6_macOSX_x86_64/ boinc_7.10-2.3_macOSX_x86_64). Same warning each time. I don't understand. The only think I see about the authorizations is that I had to give myself Read/Write Authorizations as Administrator on the 3 drives / partitions (command-i). https://www.dropbox.com/s/szm7tt9ngh42tqz/Master1010_Autorizations.png I'm a little desperate, I run Seti from 1999 and Boinc from ages on various Macs and OS', and never had a pb like that :/ I don't want to stop ! ;-)
