Try to run CubikUpdater in another folder.

CubikUpdater is an app which need to create files and requires write access in the folder it is launched from.

It is really annoying when people use forums as their own personal help service. Please please let people know how you fixed it!

*OP, you need to EXPLAIN how your issue is solved so others may benefit from your questions...*

I managed to get it working by doing the following:

1. Download for MAC from the website and copy the 'key' from the same page.
- It will look something like this: BCS-OJBKJK2B324K4B234KJ23K4N2KJ3N4
2. The file is called CubikUpdater, move this into your Applications folder.
3. Double click to start install.
4. Enter your email and the key from the website when asked.
5. Press install and wait for the install to complete.
6. Press Launch and enjoy!

Apparently the file does not have permission to add folders to the Downloads folder, but does have from the Applications folder.

Thank you to the Sphax team.
