Aperture 3.4.3 simply won't launch from a fresh install

So, I just purchased Aperture from the App Store, and it won't launch.


I tried the advice here:


http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4412


To no avail. Since the app hasn't launched, there is no preference file to delete.


The only other variables, of course, would be my hardware and OS, but all of that is up to date.


I kind of need the app running... Any idea what's happening?


Cheers,

T

Do you have Final Cut installed? The crash dump has all the signs of the classic Final Cut /Aperture conflict.


If so the easiest way to fix the situation is to just install the operating system Mountain Lion again. Re-installing the OS will not damage your data files however is it always a good idea to have a full backup in cases lie this.
