(Apologies if this attaches itself to my latest post.)

Hi [MA]Flying_Meat...

Update on Quicktime Player write problem.

I changed csrutil from enable to disable using the official method and I now have full root access via the terminal.

However......
Quicktime Player still has the same error.
See attached image.

I can only assume that Apple have crippled QTP to be GUI only as this error does NOT occur in OSX 10.12.0 and 10.12.1 and when run from the GUI... ;o(

I will pursue it further for the time being but I don't expect any positive results.
