CFB2016 successful* install but no CFB perspective

MacOS Sierra plug-in configuration a qualified success.  However, I have no CFB perspective.

Install log says:

Installation: Successful with errors.

6454 Successes

0 Warnings

2 NonFatalErrors

0 FatalErrors

Non fatal errors being two occurrences of

Modify Text File - Single File:   /Users/barrygbrunning/eclipse/java-oxygen/Eclipse.app/Contents/Eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/Info.plist

                          Status: ERROR

                          Additional Notes: ERROR - Unable to locate ASCII text file to be manipulated. Deferring...

Indeed there is no such file, whereas there is a file /Users/barrygbrunning/eclipse/java-oxygen/Eclipse.app/Contents/Info.plist.  At the install log errors referenced path /Users/barrygbrunning/eclipse/java-oxygen/Eclipse.app/Contents/Eclipse/ are located folders: configuration, droppins, features, jre, plugins, readme and the eclipse.ini file, but no info.plist. 

The implied "Deferring..." action seems to have not happened.  Any suggestions as to what I might do to recover the situation?  What should have happened to an info.plist somewhere? How might I get the CFB perspective to manifest in Eclipse?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Have now uninstalled the 'no go' CFB2016 attempted install.  Then installed CFB2018.  This so far is successful, except for one non-critical install issue related to the uninstaller, which I have yet to investigate.  I will post further observations on the success with CFB2018 as I come to use it.  Many projects on hand, so don't hold your breath.
