Archicad 17 installation osx10.9.5 & 10.10.5

[Anonymous]

Hi All,
I am trying to install Archicad 17 on several machines in my office some with 10.10.5 & 10.9.5 but am coming across one very simple problem. The installer simply wont launch. Nothing happens. I get a spinning circle for 2 seconds then it stops and nothing happens. I've tried Archicad 19 and it installs the demo no problem but when I try 17 full version nothing.
Any help would be much appreciated.
