Unable to get root access to SMC service

Post by dade-shinji »

Hello everybody,
as the title says, after the 1.0.2 update I couldn't open the program anymore.
Everytime I try to run it, that's what i receive back: a window with that message.

Anyone knows what's wrong?
Btw i'm on MacBook Pro mid 2009 with OSX 10.8.4!

Thanks!!!

Did you move the app to the /Applications folder?
