Cannot get archicad to start in any way

Hi! Having a seriously weird problem with archicad 20.
Had updated to OS X sierra with no previously installed archicad. Downloaded the latest build from archicad website and installed.
But when I try to start archicad i get the error message:

-File creating error-
Error during file creation: /Users/....../Library/Application Support/GRAPHISOFT/TW Data/TWDataOptions.xml

Have made sure to change the permission for the Application Support/GRAPHISOFT & subfolders but without luck.

Even tried bankrolling the os to el capitan. But still can't start archicad.
Same version works fine on my friends computer with el capitan.

What could be the problem?

Best,

Solved!

Partioned a new drive and installed Sierra onto that.
Then opened from new partion an installed latest archicad build.

Works fine now! Don't know why....
