I keep getting this error while installing massive (not X) on catalina:

"The installation failed.
The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."

I have no idea what I am doing wrong. Massive is supposedly compatible with catalina.

 

k'd or legit?
The demo works without issues.

Uh, no. I don't think the original Massive works on Catalina, because it stopped working a few OSs before, I thought?
@Krugen But if I'm wrong, make sure you have SIP turned off. But I'm sure you probably know this being on Catalina.

 

what is sip

 

funny enough, I have it original but cannot install it since it is in komplete 7 and they have no installer for komplete 7 since mountain lion or so.
I contacted support some years ago where they basically said "please pay to update to a newer komplete"

I was forced to use it k'd ever since

 

Although you'll get that error message, the plug-ins should still work. It's not uncommon. Unless it's an older installer which isn't compatible anymore. I received the same message with the last k'd version (Native.Instruments.Massive.v1.5.5.MacOSX-FIX) but as a test I also installed the demo version (after saving the AU/VST files), without the error message (Catalina 10.15.7). Replaced the AU/VST's afterwards and everything works. I'm not familiar with Komplete vs solo installers but maybe this thread helps:

Or you can ask for help (because NI has no direct support section anymore afaik):

@Krugen System Integrity Protection. Just thought it may have been affecting install.
You have to reboot into Recovery Mode and go into Terminal and turn it off.
Just Google it.
