I am trying to install Max7 on a laptop (for live performance of my lovely patches)... but it fails to startup

with a stacktrace error pointing to Max's fileref_resolvealias routine, actually inside Carbon code:

"CFURL_CreateWithFilesystemRepresentationByAddingPercentEscapes"

I have looked for and removed all network aliases I can see on the laptop...no joy.

This did not get far with my initial contact with C74 support: they just got frustrated (with me) and recommended a complete

wipe and reinstall on the laptop. I am hoping for a more insightful approach here, ;-)... or just confirmation that I am likely scr**ed...

Any ideas where else to look?

OK: For those who are interested (*yawn*),

it apparently was one of three apps I uninstalled :

all three from Apple app store, all gone, and Max is back.

who cares what was the real cause? I am back in business...er... play!
