New player, problems installing

Hi All,

Only came across Vendetta via your Kickstarter campaign (good luck!).

Thought I would give it ago, signed up, downloaded the MacOSX verison, and when I try and run the installer, I receive the following error message in the 'Vendetta Update Utility'.

Connecting to update1.vendetta-online.com:21024...
Latest version: vendetta-1.8.242
Patching version vendetta-1.8.203 to vendetta-1.8.242...
can't open Contents/MacOS/Vendetta! aborting!

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Azza

Are you trying to run it from directly from the DMG? You should copy it to your hard drive first.

I get this problem as well. I did copy to my HD first.
Any other thoughts?

iMac:
Processor 3.1 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB
Software OS X 10.8.2 (12C60)

thanks.

Sounds like it could be some sort of permissions problem preventing the updater from updating the game files. Which directory did you put it in? You could try moving it somewhere else.

Thanks. Got it to work now. Mostly user error :-)
Made it past basic flight last night.

thanks for the help.
