Install issue on macOS 15.7.2

[fred116]

Hi all -- not sure this is the proper place for this. I have been running Boinc 8.2.5 just fine. This morning I am trying to update to 8.2.8 and am having problems. I run the installer and it sits on the 'Running package scripts...' for quite some time, then throws up the 'install failed' message. At that point the installer quits, but the BOINC_Finish_Install process never ends.

I am on a Mac Studio, running 15.7.2. Nothing else fancy, Rosetta 2 is installed, homebrew stuff. Any thoughts? This is the first time I have any sort of Boinc Manager install issue ever. Thanks, and sorry if this is spam on this board :)

@CharlieFenton, could you please take a look?

I can't reproduce this. It is most likely due to a corrupted download of the BOINC installer. Please download a fresh copy here. Then run Uninstall BOINC.app (in the Extras directory in this download) and finally run the BOINC installer again. Please let us know whether this fixes your problem.

Thanks very much — Sorry for crying wolf. Yes, following your suggestions resolved my issue. It’s been so long since I have had a corrupted download I didn’t even consider that step with my troubleshooting. Thanks again, geoff s.
