    Hi there,

    I need some help with the installation of the Vienna Assistent.

    I had it already installed and everything was running fine. Today, I wanted to update the Vienna Assistent and during the installation process I was asked to grant access to - I believe - the document folder. At that time, I was unfortunately not aware of that it came from VA, so I declined the access.

    Now I have the problem that any other installation try results in an error as shown in the attached screenshot. So then I tried to remove the VA application into the trash bin, and reinstall again, but it results in the same error. So currently I am stuck somewhere in the installation process and probably need to clean up anything on my hard drive or grant somewhere the missing authorizations.

    I am working on macOS Ventura Version 13.2

    Any idea is appreciated - thanks in advance.

    Kind regards,
    RaPaSa

    Hi Ralf,

    You can access the settings in your Mac's System Preferences.
    Go to Privacy & Security > Files and Folders > check everything under Vienna Assistant.

    All the best,
    Erik

    Hi Erik,

    thanks for this hint.
    Under Privacy & Security I am now able to find the settings - all of them are checked.
    So I tried the update again, but still get the same error message. Also after restarting the MacBook.
    I am not sure what Vienna Assistant is checking or missing during the installation process. Are there any installation logs available that I can share for further analysis?

    Kind regards,
    RaPaSa

    Hi Erik,

    thanks a lot for your support today - and that even on Sunday. I really appreciate the VSL support.
    The solution was: within data protection and security -> look for installation program and check if download folder is enabled. In my case it was disabled, so enabling it solved the issue and installation run smoothly as I am used to it,

    Kind regards,
    RaPaSa

    I'm experiencing the same issue. Can't seem to find what you're referring to here. Mind uploading a screen shot? Thanks!
