Avid Link constantly re-installs Falcon and fails anyway
Hello. I hope this is in the right section of the forum.
Every time I launch Avid Link (so every time I reboot, for example), it thinks there is an update to Falcon AAX (2.1.7). But Falcon AAX is already installed. Somehow I have Avid Link set to auto-install updates, so it tries installing Falcon again. Sometimes an error window says it doesn't have permission, other times it asks for my password, which I enter correctly, but it still fails. Other times it finishes with no message of success or failure, and the "Install" button re-appears as if it isn't installed. Bizarre. FWIW, Falcon does work when I open Pro Tools, so the only thing broken is Avid Link. For troubleshooting, I have tried uninstalling and re-installing Avid Link. I've also tried installing Falcon AAX outside of Avid Link. I did a fresh macOS install back in July. The "solution" for now is to uninstall Avid Link completely, but I was curious if anyone has this problem. Thanks for any ideas.

Agreed, Avid Link has never been great, that's for sure.

Re: Avid Link constantly re-installs Falcon and fails anyway
Most people uninstall Avid Link and do updates going direct to thei Avid account.

Indeed. That's a manual process though, it'd be nice to see when updates are available automatically.
