Tracker install problem

Does anyone have any success getting the Tracker install on MacOS 10.14.5 to run?
The TrackerStarter seems to be having difficulty running the embedded version of Java.

There seem to be some issues on Catalina related to leftover 32-bit code.  I will be looking at it this week. Doug

Hello, I'm trying to install tracker on MacOS 10.15 (Catalina) and can't make it work. I can see that there is an update installer for Catalina but it only works when version 5.0 or greater is already installed.

I there a way to download older installers? Then I could try to install 5.0 and then use the update installer to update to the current version.

Thank You
Benjamin

We are still developing the installer for Catalina which should be released very soon. The upgrade installer you saw was for testing--the final version will be released at the same time as the full installer.  Doug
