Mac OSX 10.5.8 (Leopard) and ArchiCAD 9 compatibility

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I'm trying to install ArchiCAD 9 on MacBook Pro Leopard 10.5.8.
After I run the installer, and agree to terms and conditions, I'm getting
stuck at the point where I need to specify the destination directory. No matter what I do or what I select, it gives me an error saying 'Please specify a directory name' when I hit next button. Even the current free disk space shown is 0 MB where I've more than 150 GB free space.

What should I do in order to be able to install ArchiCAD on my Mac.

Hello,


I've ArchiCAD 9 which I used to use on my Mac OS X Tiger. Now I've upgraded to Leopard and I cannot install ArchiCAD 9 on it. Is ArchiCAD compatible with 10.5.8 ? Is it possible to install ArchiCAD 9 on MacBook Pro with 10.5.8 ? Am I having problem installing ArchiCAD 9 on Mac because its me doing something wrong or it is just not compatible ?


Thank you,

AC 9 will run on your Intel Mac (in Rosetta emulation mode), but I believe the installer will not. So, you need to install on a PPC Mac (G4 / G5) and then copy the application folder from there over to your Intel Mac...or...

There is a downloadable copy of the US version of AC 9 on the GS web site for use in converting old files, but it does not include the library as I recall::

The library can be downloaded here:
