Greetings. I recently got a new macbook pro OS X (10.9) and am having difficulty installing my Finale 2007 on it. I'm hoping it's not because of an incompatibility due to the older Finale version. The message I keep receiving is "An error occurred that prevented this installation from completing."
Any ideas??? I am using an external CD drive, although I don't think this has any bearing on the issue.

I suspect that you're correct, and that 2007 is not compatible with 10.9. Just as a check, try installing it in a new user account. If it fails there as well, my crystal ball shows an upgrade in your future.
Even two years ago, we were told that products prior to 2010 would no longer be supported on 10.8, so I'm not surprised that 2007 and 10.9 have problems. Sorry.

I was using osx10.8.5 and finale worked fine, but lately i started to have issues, may be it was malware or something, so I uninstalled it, then after the upgrade of osx to 10.9.5 and same error, i went back to 10.8.5, and there still an error, I think I'l be downgrading it to 10.7 and see if it works, but it is strange it won't work like it did before.
