Macbook Pro (Mid 2015 16GB retina display)

OS x 10.11.4

StudioLive 16.4.2 mixer - works fine with windows XP and studioLive.

Installed UC from Universal_Control_173_5742.dmg. When I go to LaunchPad and start UC I get an error box with:

The software was not installed correctly. Device DLLs not found. Please re-install and try again.

Did full manual uninstall as noted in some support document and re-installed. Still same problem. Happens with or without mixer attached to thunderbolt port.

Here's part of the crash report. Looks like a SIGSEGV:

Apparently it can be a bit of a job to get UC to install correctly under El Capitain. Did you find these instructions by the PreSonus support team?: http://support.presonus.com/entries/105171633-Mac-OS-X-10-11-El-Capitan-Compatibility-Statement
