    I am running Lightromm 5.6 and that message "An error occurred when attempting to change modules." appeared just after upgrading to Yosemite OS in my MacBook Pro. I just cannot get rid off it after every advice given in Adobe Forum...

    Thanks for reporting this. This issue should be fixed in Lightroom 4.4. Choose Help>Check for Updates... to download and install.

    I was very nervous upgrading to 4.4 now when I finally got 4.3 working (rebuild OSX 10.8). All in - and it works even after upgrading to 4.4 🙂

    I gave up, I made a complete re-build of 10.8 and did a fresh install of LR4.4 and now it works.
