Recently, I transitioned from pc to mac (MacOS Monterey; Macbook Pro; Apple M1 Pro). I was unable to install additional knime nodes for both KNIME 4.6 and the previous version KNIME 4.5.2. I downloaded these versions directly from the knime website. Each version gave the same error (see below). My colleague also had the same error with both versions with a different machine and OS (macOS Catalina; Macbook Pro; Intel Core i7).

Issue: I tried the latest knime version (4.6) and the previous version (4.5.2). I keep getting the same error: **Info.plist does not exist**

```auto
An error occurred while configuring the installed items
session context was:(profile=KNIMEProfile, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Configure, operand=null --> [R]org.knime.product.macosx.configure 4.5.2.1647515846574, action=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.touchpoint.natives.actions.CopyAction).
I/O Error while copying /Applications/KNIME 4.5.2.app/Contents/Eclipse/Info.plist - see details.
Source: /Applications/KNIME 4.5.2.app/Contents/Eclipse/Info.plist does not exists

```

There is an `Info.plist` file that seems to be located one directory up in Contents, but not in the Eclipse directory.

(base) machineID:Contents user$ ls -la  
total 8  
drwxr-xr-x@ 7 root wheel 224 Mar 17 09:37 ./  
drwxr-xr-x@ 3 root wheel 96 Mar 17 09:35 …/  
drwxr-xr-x@ 13 root wheel 416 Mar 17 09:37 Eclipse/  
-rw-r–r–@ 1 root wheel 3139 Mar 17 09:36 Info.plist

So I tried to copy that `Info.plist` into the Eclipse directory but then I get a new error

```auto
An error occurred while configuring the installed items

session context was:(profile=KNIMEProfile, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Configure, operand=null --> [R]org.knime.product.macosx.configure 4.5.2.1647515846574, action=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.touchpoint.natives.actions.CopyAction).
I/O Error while copying /Applications/KNIME 4.5.2.app/Contents/Eclipse/Info.plist - see details.
Error while copying:/Applications/KNIME 4.5.2.app/Contents/Eclipse/Info.plist

```

Like I said, I get the same exact errors with KNIME 4.6. So does my colleague on another machine and macOS.

Does anyone have any ideas why the `Info.plist` is not in the Eclipse directory? Can someone post a working `Info.plist` from their install so that I can see if copying it and placing it in the Eclipse directly allows me to install packages into KNIME?

What exactly are you trying to do? The piece of code that reports this error is usually not executed when additional extensions are installed.
