Can't install `kicad` folder to `Application Support`

[BrendanSimon]

I am trying to install 5.1.6 on macOS Catalina. I copied of the app bundle ok to Applications folder, but the kicad folder doesn’t want to copy across to the Applications Support link in the disk image.

I don’t think I’ve had this issue in the past.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks, Brendan.

I think I have heard this before. Could you try to make a video of it?

Problem updating KiCad on macOS [SOLVED]

I am trying to update to V5.1.5 (from V5.1.4) on my Mac, but I am unable to finish the process. In the installation window I need to drag two folders (“KiCad” and “kicad”) to two other folders (“Applications” and “Application Support”) I have dragged “KiCad” succesfully to “Applications”, but I cannot drag “kicad” to “Application Support”, the dragged folder just jumps back to were it was. How can I finish the update? (I’m on macOS Catalina V10.15.3)

i.e. opening the Applications Support folder and copying into it. Actually opened the Library folder and copied onto the Applications Support folder.
