As the post title says, crash. Can’t update. This also happened with one of the 7 betas…I couldn’t get from an earlier beta to a later one. Is it smart to use something like AppDelete to remove all “pieces” of RW 7 and then start over with a fresh download of 7? The only thing I have done out of the ordinary is having migrated to a new iMac over this past weekend. Might that have messed up something?

Well,…while I don’t know why the crashing occurs, I missed the obvious solution. Dump 7.0 and directly download 7.0.1. Duh! (And it’s not even that late here in Oregon, so I can’t use that excuse.) I’d still like to know what the crashing is about of course.

Very odd, we’ve had no other reports of this. Will keep an eye on it!

And yes you can always just download the latest version from here:
