Hello guys , i tried to install AC 13 for mac several times now but when the installer run a message ARCHICAD 13 cannot be installed on this platform.

I have read that maybe the installer was not for Intel mac and downloaded another one for Intel but again i have the same problem.

I have download the installer from myarchicad website.

Anyone can help me on this please ?

Hopefully safe mode will take care of it then. See:

Basically, hold the shift key while restarting. Also, if you have not done so, you might use Disk Utility to repair permissions, too ... something could be amiss there.

Not sure (try Google) how to see if you booted into 32 bit mode... but it is something that you would have explicitly had to change to make happen, so if you never set up your Mac to use 32 bit mode, it must be in 64. Actually, I guess you can just open Activity Monitor and look at running processes. If you see anything (should see a lot) reporting as 64 bit, then you are in 64 bit.
