At that point the program is trying to read a local file that contains the current license info—if the local license file doesn’t exist (new user), it will load the license group with a field to enter a key, or the user can choose to continue with the free limited version. The script is seeming to stop around that point.

I also tried deleting the pref file containing language and location choices that was written at the opening, in hopes of narrowing it down to an inability to write or read a file from the pref folder in the library. Deleting the pref file caused a script error that shows the standard LC error dialog added by the installer, so it’s not that.
