Hey there!

Is this install of Studio somewhere other than in the /Applications directory?

Hi!

I dragged the Roblox Studio app into the /applications folder and ejected the disk but I was still getting the error.

OK I’m not sure dragging the Studio app itself would solve it but I do know that “bad things” are known to happen on Mac if Studio isn’t installed and running from /Applications

Just to be extra safe, my recommendation would be:

Open a new Finder window

Search for “Roblox” and delete the Applications
