Ver. 10.8.3 cannot be installed

[db11]

After contacting support I managed to install the latest version (10.8.4). Cheers to them for helping out with this!

These are the steps, but please do it only if you understand the implications. You will temporarily lower the security of your system..

This is crazy that you have to mess around in Terminal and disable system integrity protection simply to install a device driver!

Is this a result of system security changes with Sonoma? Surely there must be a better/safer solution to these Installer hangs.

Had to login simply to respond to this fiasco.

What a joke.

3dconnexion and maybe 3 or 4 small others are a constant pain when dealing with their software/drivers.

Thanks for this! I finally got this working.

I would like to add a small clarification that I got hung up on:

SIP must be enabled/disabled from recovery mode

systemextensionsctl must be run in regular startup mode - it will not run in recovery mode.

I did not understand this and was really frustrated that systemextensionsctl was not working...
