DDPM Won't Run after install on Mac
Mac OS Tahoe - 2 Different Machines - same result - one running 26.2, the other was running 26.2 but just updated to 26.3.
- try install DDPM - have tried a couple of different versions - including the latest v2.1.2.0007 and previous version 2.1.1.0004 - both produce the same result. I go through the install - no errors - specifying that I want to install the network kvm software as well as the base. Grant the perms for control - no issues - choose not to run as part of install - get to complete of install - successful.
When I try to run DDPM after install (including after a reboot of the computer - that doesn't seem to help in any way) - I get a message saying "DDPM_settings.json" couldn't be copied to "DDPM" because an item with the same name already exists." At this point I can only click the OK on that error dialog - and while I can see a DDPM process running in Activity Monitor - it never shows any sort of UI, etc. and appears to be just running in the background with no effect.
What do I need to do to fix this issue and get the software to run properly?

You may uninstall DDPM (right-click the DDPM icon and select Uninstall), then reinstall the latest version, DDPM v2.1.2.0007.
