Having issues installing flame 2019.2.3 on an iMac Pro running Catalina. Install just simply fails. Anyone know if this is a known issue or I’m missing a trick?

No. Will this work? My reseller has just told me that it is not possible to run any flavour of 2019 on Catalina!

IIRC this is an apple thing, not an Autodesk thing. With one of the OS upgrades Apple stopped allowing 3rd party apps from installing folders at the root of the HD. That’s where the Autodesk Storage folder was. Now it is in /opt/Autodesk by default. I believe that required a rewrite in Flame to accommodate.
