5.11 install issue

[mulletsaison]

I upgraded my OS to 10.4.8, and I've tried reinstalling a couple of times, and I still get the same problem:

When I launch 5.11 it starts up as if it's the first time, everything's humming along, and then it just quits.

5.01 still works fine.

Any insights?

(oh yeah, I'm running a dual 1.8 G5 PPC)

If it were me I would start with repairing permissions. I don't know if that will fix, but it might. If it doesn't maybe someone will suggest your next step.

Using Mac OS X, how do I repair permissions and what does that do?

ON EDIT -- There are some third party plug-ins that need updating for DP5.11.

Make sure you read the read mes that come with it -- for example the audioease plug-ins need a free update or they will crash DP.

I forgot to read the read me when I installed. That equalled crash on start-up -- read it, did what it said, then all was well!

Hey, thanks for the response... reapairing the disk permissions didn't work unfortunately.

Try throwing out your dp preferences

not in front of my music machine, but they are in your user directory:library

Not sure which directory inside of library but you can probably find them

ON EDIT -- are you good on those plug ins?

Also MOTU re-did how MAS works in DP 5.11 so some MAS third party plugs don't work and crash DP. For example Antares Autotune 4. But the AU still works, so I just pulled the mas one out.

Also do you have any cheapy freeby plugs?????? that is always potential for disaster IMHO unless you have tested first w 5.11

Try trashing and rebuilding you bundles.

Hey, thanks for the help; eliminating the VST plugins got 5.11 to launch.

If you are using VST wrapper from audioease, that is one of the ones you need to update or DP will crash. See the link in the readme.

Glad you got it worked out!
