Intallation problem (Mac OS 10.13.3)

[Former user]

Hi, can you advise how I can install Playtime on a Mac (OS 10.13.3). I downloaded the installer, but keep getting told I can't install in 'this location' (For me only). Unfortunately I don't have any choices of alternative locations, so what next....

Quick remark - I forgot to login to leave the issue report (concerning installation problems on OS 10.13). I'm not sure if this will show up in the comments, but just to say I'm following the discussion for a follow up - Joesh.

Hi Josh. Oh no, I thought I have fixed those OS X installation issues. It's unbelievable how buggy is this OS X installer technology. Could you just try again and see if this "For me only" step is skipped? It should be skipped and you should be asked to enter the administrator password.

Hi Ben, no I've tried numerous times, but no luck. I only have the option of 'for me only'. Thanks for your time - Joe

I have the same problem on OS 10.11.6.

Could you please try this installer? I researched a bit and changed an installer option that is known to create exactly this kind of issues. Please let me know if you have success, then I will make a new public installer release, available for everyone.

Hi Benjamin, it worked - I'll try out Playtime later and get back to you to give you a complete update. Big thanks - Joe

Thanks! But... While it seems to install, the "About" field in Playtime says it's still version 1.13.

@AN111 The attached installer should fix that. It will remove the old Playtime version if there is one. I'll soon publish a new minor release which includes that fixed installer.
