DVSA Theory Test DVD not working with Mac OS Sierra V10.12

I have purchased the DVSA Theory Test for Drivers for Large vehicles DVD, so I could study for my theory driving test.

When i started to install it on my mac, it gives me and error and stopes installing. I've tried to delete it, and install it again, and nothing. I've sent Apple the error reports, still nothing.

On the DVD it says "Mac OS X v10.7 to v10.10" but i have Mac Os Sierra V 10.12 . Is that the problem?

What can I do to make it work? I really need to get done with my studies so I can do my theory test, and this is becoming impossible. Any ideas?

Likely it is not compatible with Sierra. Is macOS 10.9 or 10.10 available form the Purchased sectin of the Mac App Store?

If so connect a blank external HD to the Mac and install an older macOS version on the disk, boot from that disk and install your app and see if it works

You said "it gives me and error and stopes installing.". What did the error message say?

Without knowing that you can try installing 10.10 or other supported versions on and external disk drive if you model Mac supports them. Then boot from the earlier macOS disk and try installing your DVD app.

Look at the Purchased section of the Mac App Store for what is available to you.

What model MacBook Pro do you have?

This is the Mac Pro desktop forum. I requested your post be moved to the MacBook Pro laptop forum or other appropriate forum.

Please move the MacBook Pro forum or other appropriate forum. Thanks

Contact the maker of the DVD and ask them if it works on 10.12. I suspect their answer will be that the requirements are clearly stated: needs 10.7 - 10.10. Look for an updated version of the DVD and buy it.

It just says "DVSA LGV Theory Test DVD quit unexpectedly". I have Macbook pro early 2011.
