Hi all,

The newest versions don't install correctly on my iMac (Intel).
I can't recall what went wrong with 8.2.8 but with 8.2.9 it showed the incorrect permissions error launching the app after the installation.
Another observation: The BOINC Manager app became an Alias.
Maybe, it results from having moved the BOINC data to a separate SDD.
Reverting to 8.2.5 fixes the issue.
If you need more details, I'll happily reinstall 8.2.9 and send logs or try tricks to solve the problem.

Kind regards,
Felix

For what it's worth, 8.2.9's running perfectly happily in macOS 13.7.8 on my own Intel iMac, as did 8.2.8 before it.
