I've already tried with JDK version 8 and 6 and the behavior is somewhat similar. Anyone else has experienced the same thing and/or has been able to solve it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
What's the build version you are going to install?
Have you already checked documents about:TalendHelpCenter:Compatible Operating Systems and TalendHelpCenter:Java?
Best regards

Hi Sabrina,
Thanks for your reply. macOS 10.12 Sierra is a supported version and the recommended JDK is version 1.7, exactly the one I have.
I'm not sure what's the build version I'm trying to install. I downloaded the latest one available, 20161216_1026-V6.3.1. I guess this is what you're asking for.
Also, that's the error I get if I try to run the main executable from the terminal. When clicking the application icon, I get an alert error message that says: "The TOS_BD-macosx-cocoa executable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared library". No error log is generated in this case.

Hi,
Have you tried to re-extract your archive file for 20161216_1026-V6.3.1 using 7zip to see if it works?
Best regards
Sabrina

I'm using macOS. Unfortunately, there is no 7-Zip for Mac, at least not an official one.

Hi,
What's the  decompression tool you are using? Are you using  third-party ZIP extractor to unzip it?

Best regards
Sabrina

Hello Sabrina, I'm using macOS's default "Archive Utility" to extract the contents of the zip file.

I think - this is not archiver error
try to use JDK 1.8
work perfect with Sierra, El-Capitain, tested (regular use on production) - 6.1, 6.2, 6.3

That was it, thank you very much vapukov! It works now as long as I start it from the command line instead of clicking on the *.app icon, which still find quite interesting.
