I think your problem seems that sqlite can't build max database due to missing java ???
at least temporary solution would be to remove
sqlite.mxo from /Contents/Resources/C74/extensions/max/
(don't delete it, just move it somewhere out of max search path)
then start max.
If it starts ok, then you need to check that java runtime installation
maybe ask cycling support about it.

the last error is chrome CEF Framework complaining about cache folders ...
seems to be a permissions error
