MAC Install problem

I have been running Beersmith(Windows) for a couple of years and really like the program, One of the things I have been waiting for in Beersmith 2 is the abitity for a brewing buddy to run it in MAC. When he downlods the install trial he has the problem that follows. He has tried it multiple times including the noncompressed version. He has tried to remove all Beersmith before trying again. All help appreciated, John

Hi,
 Well- starting at the top it looks like the program simply can't create the BeerSmith2 directory under his Documents directory (i.e. it can't create /Users/Ken/Documents/BeerSmith2).  This is where the program stores everything by default, so basically all of the errors after that are the program trying to create all of your data files.

 Try creating that directory manuallly (/Users/Ken/Documents/BeerSmith2) and then make sure the user you are running has can write to that directory.  After that, BeerSmith should be able to create the data and run.

Brad

Thanks Brad will pass it on and update
