Error loading library efk_hardware

Any workarounds for running the software on MacOS Monterey? I tried the Catalina fix file that was sent to me by Chauvet support and I am still getting the "Error loading library efk_hardware" error.

I installed the version you have linked above and tried opening it on my Macbook M1 Pro running MacOS Monterey 12.2.1. I am still getting the same error, "Error loading library 'efk_hardware' !" Do you have any advice on how I can get the software to run? I tried loading it from the DMG directly, dragging it to the Applications folder first and then running it, and also dragging it to my Desktop and running from there. Same issue each time.

Hum !
This previous software version has been installed on Mac computers for months.

Please confirm you proceed like this for software installation:
- open the DMG file
- drag the folder "TheLightingController" into your Desktop or in the folder "Applications" (up to you). This will create a new folder "TheLightingController".
- eject the DMG volume
- run the program "TheLightingController" in the new folder "TheLightingController"
