Hi Allin, Thank you so much for your reply. As you suggested, Yes, in a new admin account I could install Gretl. But I am using my work computer and I have some restrictions and problem using Gretl in a different login for my online teaching while most of my other apps are restricted to my old account only. Please let me know if there is a way that I can install Gretl in my old admin account. Much appreciate all your assistance Thanks again, Regards, Sent from my iPhone > On 5 Nov 2022, at 8:53 am, Allin Cottrell <cottrell(a)wfu.edu&gt; wrote: > > On Thu, 3 Nov 2022, Fazeel Jaleel wrote: > >> Dear Allin >> >> I am using the same Macbook and the >> >> • Gretl was working fine but an earlier version of macOS >> >> • Then I tried to instal macOS with Ventura (13.0) and the Gretl was working fine too >> >> • Then I tried to instal Gretl latest update (Nov 1st release) on the installing process a message came That Gretl tried to access your folder (something similar to) but I accidentally pressed NO button >> >> * Since then, the same error message pops up every time try >> installing the Gretl > > What you tell us implies the following: > > * There's no inherent incompatibility between gretl and Ventura. > > * The problem is not specific to the latest release (since you told us earlier that the older version of gretl won't install now either). > > What I infer is that there's some setting in your user account on Ventura that is banning gretl installation (presumably connected with your inadvertently clicking on "No" as you describe). > > So I'm going back to one of my previous points: > >> I've heard of some Mac users who encountered failures trying to install certain application programs (not gretl), but managed to do so by creating a new administrator account and installing the software using that account. > > Try creating a new user account on your Mac, with admin rights, and see if you can install gretl from there. > > Allin_______________________________________________ > Gretl-users mailing list -- gretl-users(a)gretlml.univpm.it > To unsubscribe send an email to gretl-users-leave(a)gretlml.univpm.it > Website: https://gretlml.univpm.it/postorius/lists/gretl-users.gretlml.univpm.it/

Dear Allin, As you suggested, I installed the Gretl using the new admin account, then logged in with my old account and tried to open the Gretl from the application folder, and it works. Thank you sooooooo much Much appreciated.

What I infer is that there's some setting in your user account on Ventura that is banning gretl installation (presumably connected with your inadvertently clicking on "No" as you describe). So I'm going back to one of my previous points: Try creating a new user account on your Mac, with admin rights, and see if you can install gretl from there. Allin
