Issue with loading Melda Production VSTs in Ableton LS 12

[r31415smith]

Hello,
I had run the Melda Production VSTs in Ableton 11 in the past with no issues, and now I am running ALS 12 (new laptop (bought it used, but fresh boot), mac OS running ventura 13.6.6). I installed the Melda Productions free VSTs and when I tried opening within Ableton I get this error:

Could not initialize the GUI subsystem.
Error: File "/Users/user/Library/Application Support/MeldaProduction/MAnalyzer/StyleSettingsV13.cfg" could not be created. Make sure there is no write-protected file already existing.

And after that a box pops up:
Could not load the required resources. The software hasn't been installed correctly. Please reinstall the software and contact our support if that doesn't help.



I have tried the following:
1. restarting the computer
2. installing with the MPluginManager, then uninstalling and trying with MAudioPlugins 13.06. Both led to the same issues
3. I went to the folders mentioned in the error to ensure that they are all read/write capable... the MeldaProduction folder is read/write enabled, but /MAnalyzer/. does not exist... I have the setting toggled to show hidden files.
4. I tried other VSTs that have GUIs (such as Valhalla)

Thanks in advance for any help or hints.

Best,
Ryan

Hi there, you have to change the "access rights" (I hope that is the correct term) so that you as a user can READ and WRITE to the subfolders of the folder mentioned in the pop-up window.
So go to the folder hit cmd+I (for information window) and then unlock the folder and change the rights to your user. Hope That helps...

I realize you;re on a Mac, but I've fixed issues like this by doing the 'Run As Administrator/ on Win. I've had luck with the Change Rights thing also.
