The application "Logos Bible Software 7" can't be opened after crash during in-place application

I'm running Logos 7.9.0.21 on macOS Sierra. When I opened it this morning there 4 notifications for adding a resource, updating resources, installing app update, indexing. While the update was loading, Logos crashed. Now it won't start at all. It would appear the app has been corrupted. What can I do to restore the app to a working state? Thank you.

According to the error log file you are missing a required DLL file

Error ID: 6037
Error detail: DllNotFoundException: libLibronix.DigitalLibrary.Logos.dylib

System.DllNotFoundException: libLibronix.DigitalLibrary.Logos.dylib

This is typically in Applications/Logos.app/Contents/MacOS/lib/libLibronix.DigitalLibrary.Logos.dylib

If this were Windows I would recommend repairing the installation but I don't know the equivalent on Mac.

You could try reinstalling the app from the download link at https://www.logos.com/install or hopefully a more Mac-knowledgeable person will comment.

Also the Logos.log file - which might have more information - is very old. Is there a more recent one?

Thanks Graham; I appreciate it. I figured the app was corrupted after the crash during the background app install. The log files are generated automatically by the utility, so I'll assume there isn't a new version. Ive contemplated attempting a reinstall over the top. Hopefully I won't have to setup Logos 7 settings and layouts from scratch.

I am impressed! I renamed the corrupted version of "Logos Bible Software 7" in the "Applications" folder to keep intact as an archive, downloaded the latest Logos 7.9 dmg install file, installed Logos, started the app, signed in, and voila, everything was exactly as I left it. This process could not have been more flawless.

Does anyone know how this appreciation can be shared with the Logos Software Development Team?

Hi Matt,

I'm sorry you had problems, but I'm glad you were able to get up and running. I will pass your words onto the rest of the Desktop Team.

While some level of software problems are inevitable with any product (just like like death and taxes), its the recovery from those problems that can separate one product from another. Thanks for passing along my appreciation to the Desktop Team.
