Tried to install the new version over the old one which was working, and before and even after deleting the application support files I am unable to install. The installation stops with : "ERROR! cannot write to Info.plist, there are permission problems, or you are on a read-only volume. This cannot run from within a read-only dmg file." Cant find the related info.plist

Cant find the related info.plist Sounds like you might have unzipped it into a read-only folder, or haven't given it permissions to write to its own directory .... did you do the following: Important: The first time you run it, you will need to locate it in the Applications folder from Finder and press the Control key, then click the app icon, then choose Open from the shortcut menu (this is because it is 'untrusted' - see: https://support.apple.com/kb/PH18657?locale=en_US ). You may also have to click “Allow” to a pop-up about accepting inbound connections.

R Group: Forum Members Posts: 2, Visits: 0	Dear rikur, Thanks very much for your initiative. I downloaded the zip-file, decompressed, dragged it into Applications folder, opened it as described (did away with a pop-up) and then I saw the SkyDemon for Mac name next to the Apple-logo. This takes about 5 seconds (in the mean time the screen stays unchanged) then my MacBook Air returns to Finder! Since I didn't see this problem in the forum I thought I'd give it a try by writing you. I hope I do make some known error during this routine. Can you please assits me?
