Logic Pro/Express 7: Unexpectedly quits during launch while reading Audio Unit cache

During launch, Logic may quit unexpectedly when the progress message says "Initializing Core Audio (reading Audio Unit cache...)".

This occurs if the first language in the International preference pane is not a language for which the Finder is localized, such as Polish or Icelandic.

The issue is resolved in Logic 7.2.1 and later. To work around the issue in 7.2 or earlier:

  1. Open System Preferences.
  2. Select the International pane.
  3. Drag a Finder-localized language, such as English, Deutsch, or Français to the top of the list.
  4. Quit System Preferences.
  5. Log out of Mac OS X, then log back in.
