I was just assigned (17-Oct) a Captivate license by my organization. I downloaded the installer. When I attempt to install the programs (Adobe Captivate and Adobe Media Encoder), I get Error Code 1. Per the message, it says that the files are out-of-date. This cannot be the problem. I just downloaded them.

I am running macOS Catalina (10.15). I have over 350GB of disk space remaining.

I’m not a Mac user, but there are almost no Mac experts helping on this forum. If you are talking about ‘Catalina’, the only version of Captivate which is compatible is this one for 11.5:

On Adobe website there is stated: System requierements for MacOS macOS v10.14.6 oder macOS v10.15.1  Unfortunately I’ve installed v10.15.2 and Captivate 2019 does not start. The programm starts, but shut down again 5 sec later. Any ideas?

Even a public beta can still be changed on the final release. I have been doing a lot of beta testing.  It is very weird that this type of complaints rarely come from Win users, who seem to double-check compatibility before installing an upgrade to an OS. Did you ever wonder why the concurrent tool StoryLine never released a Mac version? Maybe the requirements for an eLearning authoring tool are different from all the other apps you use. I know that some other Adobe applications also had issues with Catalina.

Lieve, I don’t want to turn this into a personal discussion of Windows vs macOS users. Please read my original comment, which contains arguments. Turning this issue around and just saying “it’s the user’s fault because… well… you use a Mac” is not a fair argument.
