  <p>Hi</p>
  
  <p>This is the first time I've tried to use EV3 software since upgrading to El Capitan.  Before then, it worked perfectly.</p>
  
  <p>When I tried to launch the application a message pops up saying it has detected a problem during application launch.</p>
  
  <p>I uninstalled the software, uninstalled the silverlight plug-in.</p>
  
  <p>I installed the latest Silverlight plug-in, see screenshot</p>
  
  <p>I downloaded the EV3 software and tried to install it, but it didn't complete and didn't give much of a useful failed installation message, see screenshot</p>
  
  <p>Interestingly, the silverlight plug-in has now disappeared.</p>
  
  <p>Any advice?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks
  Rob</p>

Comments.Text: I just had the same problem when updating the Education Software from 1.2.2. to 1.3.1. on a Mac with OS10.12.6. Actually the Silverlight Browser Plugin was missing with me, installing Silverlight separately was fixing the problem even though the reinstallation of the Lego Software also stopped and mentioned an unsuccessful installation. But then I could still launch the software and now it is running. Thanks for the tip!
