Posted: Tue Mar 24, 2015 5:22 pm I'm also experiencing this problem on Mac (Yosemite 10.10.1), with latest Website Auditor (3.18.1). Any tips to solve this on a Mac? UPDATE: [RESOLVED] FOUND THE SOLUTION FOR MAC! 1. Open Terminal 2. Execute the following command from Terminal to grant permissions: sudo chmod -R 777 /Users/yourusername/.websiteauditor yourusername in the command should be replaced with your own username of course. Thanks to Anton from support! |

Also please make sure to have the latest version of 64-bit Java installed or download it here: https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp After that please try to run the software with admin rights so that that it would have enough permissions to generate a new browser directory properly, simply right-click the programs icons and select 'Run as Administrator'. |

What is your operating system? Also, what exactly happens when you click the install file? Does any error message show up? also make sure you have the latest Java Environment installed. Visit and update your Java at http://www.java.com if necessary. |

The browser problem is not related to your extremal browser, but to the internal built-in software browser. Try to follow the steps described above and add the Java Options variable to the system settings.
I am also using an Apple Mac |

Posted: Tue Aug 18, 2020 12:04 pm The "Failed to Initialize" error that surfaces unexpectedly in Google Chrome is due to the protection software on your computer. |
