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

Post by belarion »

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.

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?

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