WL8.03 Mac Stopped Working; Won't Launch

WaveLab
#1

I installed WL 8.03 this week. It worked ok most of the week. Yesterday I opened and viewed a WL7 project (not sure if this is related, but that’s what WL8 was doing the last time it ran). I arrived today and attempted to open that project. WL8 crashed. I tried holding the option key. Still crashed. I tried opening a WL8 native project. Still crashes. Something’s gone very very wrong, and now WL8 will not open at all.

Meanwhile WL7 seems happy enough, so I’m not DOA, but I can’t open current work at all. Help!!!

Crash logs attached for conditions above.

#2

Just tried reinstalling WL8. Still no love, immediate crash after splash screen is displayed. Ugh.

#3

Tried reinstalling my e-licensor drivers. Still no luck. WL8 seems down for the count.

#4

No workee in 64 bit mode (can’t use it but thought I’d at least try). WTF, WL8!?!

#5

The fix was a tad painful (lost some optimizations and workflow tweaks), but simple enough:
Went to preferences, and removed these two files then restarted:
Startup.plist
RunningOK

I kind of suspect just one of those files would have gotten me back AND preserved prefs, but running beats not. So I’ll live with it and move on.
