My conclusions in this forum thread are this-

1) "Lightroom" was a perpetual Version (Version 6) for which Face Recognition ceased because of an 'expired' dll file.

2) The OP has a Mac with Catalina or BigSur 64bit OS that cannot install 'old' 32bit software.

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.4.1, Photoshop 27.8, ACR 18.4, Lightroom 9.4, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.3 .

Thanks for the feedback.

I tried the below but no luck.

I unistalled lightroom, but now I can't re install it as my laptop doesn't match the system requirements.?

Kind regards

Hi there,

Sorry that you're getting an error message while using Lightroom Desktop that says "Could not run script: LibraryFactory.lua".

You will see this message if you have a bad installation.

Try resetting the Lightroom app preferences to default? Press and hold the Shift + Option + Delete keys.(Mac) or Press and hold the Shift + Alt keys while
starting Lightroom. A dialog box should appear asking you restore the preferences. Check if that helps. If not, check the next steps.
Uninstall Lightroom CC via the Adobe Creative Cloud Application
Restart your computer.
Use the Adobe Creative Cloud Application to reinstall Lightroom CC.

Let us know if that helps.

Thanks,

Akash
