MTS won't start anymore

After updating to 9, the app just refused to start; not even the window asking for my license key. Figured it wasn't compatible withmac 10.6 so So I reverted to the old version but same thing, now nothing works.

I wasn't paying attention and I tried to update while I was in a user account, could that be what caused it, cause it looks like an issue with multiple users.

I'm on Snow Leopard 10.6;

It works in 10.6 here.

It's just a bundle in the Applications folder, there's no magic going on that I can think of. Well, perhaps it can't find your settings, but it should handle that nicely.

You can try restarting the computer or disconnecting the audio device (if it's external).

"Have you tried turning it on and off?" yeah, very amusing

Seriously though, it's a permission problem, according to the console:

18-09-07 23:41:23 com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[242] ([0x0-0x2d02d].com.multitrackstudio.MultitrackStudio[510]) posix_spawn("/Applications/MultitrackStudio.app/Contents/MacOS/MultitrackStudio", ...): Permission denied

Tried modifying the permissions, inside and outside the packet to admin readwrite: sfa

So did you actually restart the computer or not?

Well, I found what the issue was, after googling for a couple of hours; The Unix file wasn't recognized as an executable for some reason, so I had to chmod the thing, as explained here:

At least someone has proved helpful. That did the trick, the app works normally. At least for now, I have a feeling I will have to do this on every update.

That's caused by your unzip tool. The default Apple one works fine.

You're right, that looks like imy tool (Keka) was the problem. First time it happened to me; most applications I get are bundled in a .dmg.
