Thread: Issue Launching PostgreSQL on MacBook M4 – Error -10669
,Hello
I have a MacBook with an M4 chip. I tried installing PostgreSQL version 17.5, but after the
installation, I received the following error
_LSOpenURLsWithCompletionHandler() failed with error -10669 (1).and the application fails to launch
A screenshot of the error is attached for reference .I also tried installing older versions, but encountered the same error
I contacted Apple Support, and they confirmed that my device is working properly
Your software is very important for my studies, and I would greatly appreciate your help in resolving this issue
Thanks,
Etay
