Hi, All.

When I try to open RW, I get the message “You can’t open the application “RapidWeaver 6” because it may be damaged or incomplete.”

What do I do now?

Best,  
E.

Hey @Ewen - @zeebe is correct. Your download must’ve been interrupted in order to be damaged/corrupted.

Trash that existing version and install the new download in /Applications. Replied to your email as well.
