High Sierra - crashes at starting [fixed]

[DJP13]

Nothing is connected to my computer. Still is showing "TheLightingController quit unexpectedly"

I just uninstalled and reinstalled showxpress and still not working.

My boss is running the old macOS "Sierra" and showxpress is working. I am running "High Sierra" version 10.13.1 and Showxpress crashes every time. The only difference between the two computers is the version of macOS the computer is running.

[DJP13]

Is there anything else you can suggest to try and get this working?

Not for now.
Unfortunately, the problem is not so easy as "works under Sierra and crashes under High Sierra", because it works with several other High Sierra computers.
We have to find what is the difference between your system and the other systems. Then we could investigate on something.

After doing more digging this is what I get. It appears there are multiples of this file and it doesn't know which to use?

Thank you for this report.

Could you please do the following test ?
- download this file http://download.thelightingcontroller.c ... _Debug.zip
- unzip it and put the extracted file "TheLightingController_NoHardware_Debug.app" in your software folder (together with the existing file "TheLightingController.app")
- run it and tell us if there is still a crash of not

PS: this file will not fix the problem ; it will just give us more informations.

It looks like the app you start is still "TheLightingController.app".
Please start "TheLightingController_NoHardware_Debug.app" instead of "TheLightingController.app".

[DJP13]

If I open the debug application then it will open
