Default Just installed Pro Tools - can't get past the "Install Helper" dialog..?

I installed Pro Tools latest version v. 2023.12.1, and just before that Pro Tools Developer v. 2023.9.0 Intel.

When I launch the Pro Tools Developer, I get a dialog box pop up saying it wants to install "Helper", and I enter password and press to install.
The dialog box goes away, but Pro Tools Developer does not launch.

I have iLok installed (it did it along with the Developer install).

I also followed this fix:
https://avidtech.my.salesforce-sites...er-tool-prompt

None of those files it wants me to delete were in the "/Library/LaunchDaemons" or "/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools" folders.

(running Ventura 13.5)

I also installed Avid HD Driver.pkg, and Pro Tools Audio Bridge.
I launched Pro Tools, thinking on 1st launch it would install the Helper but it didn't mention anything.

This is not really the forum to get Pro Tools developer support.

apologies, is Pro Tools Developer support a direct email to their staff then? I'll look into that.

I managed to get around it, by installing 2024.3.0, and PTD 2023.12.0
