Hey guys,
This has got to be a software problem if it was caused by a hanging installation.
Have you tried doing a clean uninstall/reinstall of Logic and your Virus Control software? This would be a good place to start. If all else fails with a basic uninstall/reinstall, it is pretty easy to reinstall OS X from scratch without affecting all of your applications and files - I can help you with this if you need it, just post back asking for assistance.
As for hard drive setup, HFS+ Journaled is the default for OS X, and the one you should always use (don't use case-sensitive, it is usually recommended against for general use). HFS+ is the format, and "Journaled" means that it keeps logs of what it's doing so that if your computer crashes it can get the file system back in order during the next reboot.
The .dll file issue suzzymackenzie brought up will not affect you, since you are on a Mac. DLL = Dynamic Link Library, which only applies to Windows.
Some other things you might want to try to isolate the issue:
1) Does the TI show up in the System Profiler? Go to the Apple menu, choose "About This Mac", and click "More Info" to launch System Profiler. With the USB cable connected to the Virus, look in the section in System Profiler called "USB". Your Virus should show up in there; mine shows up under the root USB Bus as "Virus TI". If you are not seeing your Virus here you might have a problem with your USB bus hardware, or the USB controller software on your Mac. It's unlikely but possible that something was cocked up here when the installation hung.
2) Do you see any related or weird messages logged to the Console? Console can be found in Applications/Utilities. Anything bad that happens is typically logged there, so long as the software developers were being good citizens. Sometimes the messages can be cryptic to the layman but they can be very useful to software engineers. I have found problems with Logic before by looking in Console, after which you can usually Google the messages and find a possible resolution. After you launch Console, click on "Show Log List" if you can't see the list of logs on the left hand side, and then click on "All Messages" to see everything that is logged. I would recommend opening Console first, and then watching it as you start Logic and try to launch the Virus plugin - messages will show up there as they are logged in real time. If there is too much happening in the "All Messages" log, Logic logs to its own logs under LOG FILES => ~/Library/Logs => Logic in the Log List. I'm not sure if the Virus Control software logs anywhere, you might want to ask Joerg.
Post back to let me know how you do with those and I'll see if I can think of anything else. Good luck! If you end up resolving the issue yourself, make sure you post back with the resolution for others to follow.
