Hello

I installed the 8.5.1 update and now the application will not open on my computer. I get an error that just says "The application "Max Bulk Mailer" cannot be opened". Any ideas? I'm running the El Capitan OS

Best,

Max

It looks like there is a problem with the new Apple Disk Utility tool that comes with El Capitan. It looks quite buggy btw. I have recreated the Disk image with Yosemite Disk Utility and it has been uploaded again. Just in case I have also uploaded a zip copy of the MaxBulk Mailer 8.5.1 folder. Files are available here:

Disk Image: http://www.maxprog.com/products/MaxBulkMailer.dmg
Zip File: http://www.maxprog.com/products/MaxBulkMailer.zip

Please check the dmg first, it works fine here...

The new dmg is working although it gives an error. Attached a screenshot along for your reference. I'm using Mac OS X 10.9.5

Anybody else has this problem? Perhaps it is a coincidence. This image has been created under 10.10.5 with previous Disk Utility version... By the way, why is it labeled '-1'?
