I recently downloaded FMOD 2.00.09 but can’t open it at all, i’ve tried many times, reinstalled etc.  
I’m running Mac OS 10.12.6  
This is before I integrate it into Unity or anything like that.

I’ve attached a screenshot of the Problem Report:

Hi,

Thanks for reporting the issue. It looks like there was some compatibility issue between FMOD Studio 2.00.09 and older macOS. We have just released a new patched version of 2.00.09 and we recommend downloading again. The installer should be named “fmodstudio20009mac\_patch1-installer.dmg”.
