Just installed Splunk for the first time on my OSX Mavericks device. When trying to launch for the first time, it throws an applescript error about looking at Adobe files. How can I get around this? I have admin privs.

2014-02-26 14:25:53.044 osascript[2058:507] Error loading /Library/ScriptingAdditions/Adobe Unit Types.osax/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Unit Types:dlopen(/Library/ScriptingAdditions/Adobe Unit Types.osax/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Unit Types, 262): no suitable image found. Did find:
/Library/ScriptingAdditions/Adobe Unit Types.osax/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Unit Types: no matching architecture in universal wrapper osascript: OpenScripting.framework - scripting addition "/Library/ScriptingAdditions/Adobe Unit Types.osax" declares no loadable handlers. 709:713: syntax error: Expeted end of line, etc. but found identifier. (-2741).

I am getting a different error when installing on OSx 10.9.3

Unknown switch value in /Applications/Splunk/bin/Splunk.app/Contents/Resources/osxManageSplunk.sh!

Value is: 2014-06-23 09:41:06.337 osascript[3165:507] ApplePersistence=NO
button returned:Start and Show Splunk

I tried the fix above and it didn't work. I was wondering if anyone knew a fix.

I tried the fix and got further into Splunk before encountering this new error:
osascript: OpenScripting.framework - scripting addition "/Library/ScriptingAdditions/Adobe Unit Types.osax" cannot be used with the current OS because it has no OSAXHandlers entry in its Info.plist.
305:309: syntax error: Expected end of line, etc. but found identifier. (-2741)

Splunk says I need more "Karma" before I answer your question with a link... smh.

Here's what I did-> Google: splunk error osascript -> you will see a result that says "Adobe Type Units Error - How to Fix It"

There's your answer. You'll need to replace Adobe Unit Types.osax file and restart.

Good luck.
