Hello Stephen/Thomas,
Thanks very much for the interest in Hauptwerk.
The current version of Hauptwerk (v4.2.1) definitely does extract, install and work properly on OS X 10.11.5. I just checked again, for good measure. Sometimes we need to produce updated versions of Hauptwerk for major new operating system versions, but that shouldn't be necessary for minor ones.
From a brief internet search of 'dmg Protocol wrong type for socket', it appears that some people started getting that error when trying to open any .dmg files after the OS X 10.11.5 update, so presumably it's a bug in the OS X 10.11.5 upgrade itself that affects some Macs. Perhaps try:
- Reboot the Mac.
- If that doesn't solve it, make sure that the downloaded file has the same MD5 checksum that's listed on our downloads page for it, i.e. make sure that the file downloaded in full and isn't corrupted.
- If that doesn't solve it, see whether you can open any other .dmg files.
- If not, performing a clean re-installation of OS X 10.11.5 might well fix it (although I appreciate that's something that you might prefer to avoid).
- Failing that, perhaps try contacting Apple for support.
Best regards, Martin.
