How to debug Aquarius Desktop application installation or authorization issues

Modified on Wed, 27 Sep, 2023 at 2:30 PM

IMPORTANT: If not you provide us the Aquarius Desktop support data file the help-desk agents will not be able to provide you any help.

On Windows operating systems (OS), there is only one installation and authorization phase, which does everything from download to actual installation, but on macOS operating systems (OS), there are two phases.

In phase 1, the Aquarius Desktop application executes download, archive, extraction, and script creation. In phase 2, the Aquarius Desktop application executes script execution and installation.

Actual changes to the file system are applied in phase 2 when the Aquarius Desktop application helper tool runs a script. If the script fails, no changes are applied to the system, and downloaded files are not deleted.

Follow these instructions to provide us with the necessary information:

Before you make any changes to your computer system, we strongly recommend developing and running a contingency plan that integrates a solid and reliable backup system.
