Unused memory : 0 K
Unused in temporary folder : 65765.8 MB
Duplicated database name "AC_8_INT"
at line 1 of file MASTER_GDLAC_8_INT.gdl.

Cheers

What OS version? AC 8.1 or 8.0 and rev?

first thing to try is repair permissions. From Applications-Utilities-Disk Utility
second thing to try is delete the Graphisoft prefs in your home library and in the cache folder.
Third trash the AC folder in applications, repair permissions and then reinstall, then repair permissions again

Actually I assumed that you have sufficient privileges to install the program if not that should be your first step

Solved it by installing AC 8.1, no error message now.
