Pat,

Did the client send you any crash logs? I posted about a crashing issue with 
v17 just recently over on the 4D Forum. See this thread:
https://forums.4d.com/Post/EN/31710108/1/31710109#31710109

If it's related to application translocation then I posted in that thread how 
to fix it.

TL;DR Solutions are:
Option 1
In Mac OS X 10.13 (or 10.12, I'm not sure), Apple removed the ability for 
Gatekeeper to allow Apps downloaded from anywhere to be run as an option, so 
whereas the available options in "Security & Privacy" system preferences pane 
used to be:

Allow apps downloaded from:
* App Store
* App Store and identified developers
* Anywhere

the options are now restricted:
* App Store
* App Store and identified developers

Using Gatekeeper on the command line and executing:

> sudo spctl --master-disable

Option 2
Use the terminal to delete the quarantine attribute:
> xattr -d com.apple.quarantine path/to/4D.app

Use either option at your own risk (or the clients!) and consequently beware 
where you download apps from!

Subject: v17 immediately quits on launch

    Got a client who has just upgraded to v17.
    He has installed it on a number of computers and they work OK. But on his
    own, it simply quits as soon as he tries to launch it. He's on Mac OS
    10.2.6 and the version is 17.3.
    
    Any suggestions on what to look for? He's tried the obvious things (delete
    prefs, restart the computer, etc.)
