I already have the PC version installed at home and it works fine.

I installed the Mac version at work today and it crashes on startup.

Here is the start of the crash report. Apple apparently deleted python 2.7 on MacOS since version 12.3. I'm on 12.6.5.

The Python folder in the Lightwave bin folder appears to be empty.

/Applications/LightWaveDigital/LightWave3D_2023.0.1/bin/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7 folder is empty.

So I installed Python 2.7.18 and Lightwave still crashes on startup.
