BII on Mac Sierra Crashing after following 'fixes' for Sierr

Hi,
I have installed BII according to instructions on MBP (retina) running Siera 10.12.3

The BII GUI runs and saves a good ~/.basilisk_ii_prefs

When I launch BII directly (getting the "Could not start BasiliskII (No such file or directory)" error - and I have done the copy to desktop/delete/copy back workaround)

It immediately crashes. In the console log I have
default 11:24:23.108033 +1300 BasiliskII WARNING: The Gestalt selector gestaltSystemVersion is returning 10.9.3 instead of 10.12.3. This is not a bug in Gestalt -- it is a documented limitation. Use NSProcessInfo's operatingSystemVersion property to get correct system version number.
Call location:

Any thoughts?

Have you moved BII to the desktop, run it, and then moved it back to the applications folder?

Yip, tried it a few times. Still same result.

does it make a difference how deep in folder paths it is?

Mine is
/Users/rosswilliamson/Dropbox/Games/BasiliskII

Hmm... you might need to move it under /Applications

The depth of the folder path should not matter. I noticed "Dropbox" in the path, is that a special folder?
