Q: Bootcamp Assistant cannot launch

Bootcamp Assistant cannot launch. As soon as I double click it, it crashes without report appearing nor anything alike. I had sort of a similar problem with other apps after using CleanMyMac app. I own a MacBookPro 13" mid 2010. Thanks

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

    Can you Repair and Verify Permissions in Disk Utility?

     

    Was the Info.plist for BCA modified?

    I Repair and Verify the Permissions, and it did not help. I am not sure if the Info.plist was modified. Here it is

    Yes. I did uninstall it as soon as I realice the troubles I made. What could be a suitable solution?

    The simplest solution is to re-install OSX, which should you other files untouched. If you also have Windows installed on the Mac, please make a backup of your Windows installation.

     

    Please see OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support.
