Thanks Zanyterp!   After reinstalling the whole macOS on my external SSD, all is well!   Would it be so complicated to consistently use the User Home Directory (a.k.a. ~) throughout all Pulse apps?   Regards,          Alain. ... View more

Not any answer yet?   It seems that (part of) my issue is that my home folder is not on my startup disk. The Setup Client installs in the Startup Disk (/Users/Alain/Library/Application Support/Pulse Secure/SetupClient), but then the Launcher looks for it in my correct ~/Library.   00301,09 2021/03/06 19:27:05.895 3 Alain PulseApplication Pulse_secure_Application_Launcher p30239 t103 dsSetupClientHelper.cpp:261 - 'DSSetupClientHelper::isSetupClientInstalled()' /Volumes/SSD/Users/Alain/Library/Application Support/Pulse Secure/SetupClient/PulseSetupClient.app not exists, return false   I then copied the Pulse Secure directory tree to my ~/Library and now get the following error: 00186,09 2021/03/06 19:44:12.435 4 Alain PulseApplication Pulse_secure_Application_Launcher p30457 t103 dsSetupClientHelper.cpp:274 - 'DSSetupClientHelper::isSetupClientInstalled()' return true 00161,09 2021/03/06 19:44:12.435 4 Alain PulseApplication Pulse_secure_Application_Launcher p30457 t103 dsVerifyHelper.mm:23 - 'DSVerifyHelper::verifySignature()' Start 00159,09 2021/03/06 19:44:12.532 4 Alain PulseApplication Pulse_secure_Application_Launcher p30457 t103 dsVerifyHelper.mm:27 - 'DSVerifyHelper::verifySignature()' End 00169,09 2021/03/06 19:44:12.538 3 Alain PulseApplication Pulse_secure_Application_Launcher p30457 t103 dsSetupClientHelper.cpp:88 - 'DSSetupClientHelper::loadSetupDll()' ended 00202,09 2021/03/06 19:44:12.538 3 Alain PulseApplication Pulse_secure_Application_Launcher p30457 t103 dsSetupClientHelper.cpp:130 - 'DSSetupClientHelper::invokeSetupDll()' load function: dsInvokeSetupClient2 00177,09 2021/03/06 19:44:42.585 3 Alain PulseApplication Pulse_secure_Application_Launcher p30457 t103 dsSetupClientHelper.cpp:146 - 'DSSetupClientHelper::invokeSetupDll()' retCode=-4 00175,09 2021/03/06 19:44:42.586 3 Alain PulseApplication Pulse_secure_Application_Launcher p30457 t103 dsSetupClientHelper.cpp:48 - 'DSSetupClientHelper::invoke()' ended, retCode=-4 00171,09 2021/03/06 19:44:42.586 1 Alain PulseApplication Pulse_secure_Application_Launcher p30457 t103 applauncher.cpp:832 - 'Psal::AppLauncher' clientHelper.invoke() failed: -4 00178,09 2021/03/06 19:44:46.316 1 Alain PulseApplication Pulse_secure_Application_Launcher p30457 t103 applauncher.cpp:731 - 'Psal::AppLauncher' Failed to communicate with setup client W hat does the return code -4 mean?   Thanks,         Alain.     ...
