Q: Can't install Logic Studio 9 on clean install of Mavericks due to "powerpc applications not supported" error message

Hello -
I've recently performed a clean install of Mavericks on my MBP. I then attempted to install Logic Studio but was met with the error message "You can't open the application "LogicStudio.mpkg" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." Mavericks was installed as an upgrade prior to the clean install, and at that time Logic Studio functioned normally. Any suggestions?

Thanks

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

Logic 9 or 8?

There is a bug in the installer program of Logic that makes Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks think that it is PowerPC.

Best solution would have been to install Logic BEFORE you upgraded to Mavericks, but before you backup, wipe and start all over, try to use Pacifist to install it and please report back.
