ColorSync is a framework build into Mac OS. It has been there since the year dot (well, 89 or 91 or so). It’s interesting that your beta install is missing it, but betas are not for the timid. I would roll your Mac back to a production version of the OS and wait until the next version is a little more baked. I doubt sincerely that ColorSync is going away, since it’s a foundation element in the OS – it ensures that colors render faithfully.

What actually is Colorsyc, and why this us linked to Freeway Pro? Can some experthere explain please
I’ve experienced the same problem. I installed macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Freeway Pro 7 won’t start. Prompts me to install ColorSync™ from the product CD.
But: the ColorSync utility is installed! I can open it, use it…
I guess, since Freeway is no longer updated or supported, there won’t be any chance to use it ever again.

So you didn’t read all that text that was displayed to you before installing beta software?
The point of beta software is to find problems with it before it goes on general release. So the idea is that you report these bugs to Apple and they try and fix them prior to releasing the gold master. That’s it. There is no other reason to install it, other than I suppose idle curiosity. FW runs just fine on the current release of the MacOS.

Maybe it’s been moved so it’s not where FW expects to find it. At El
Cap it’s in /Applications/Utilities, but over the last few releases
some Utilities have moved into /Library/…. If that’s the case a link
(and maybe the odd extra folder
should fix it.

Of course I did read the texts and I know what beta software is for. I am a developer and of course I already sent feedback to Apple. Let’s just wait and see.
My guess (I’m not using the High Sierra beta) is that this could be a problem with the way that Freeway detects the presence of ColorSync - in which case I expect we will fix it.

I’ve made a small change to the way that Freeway tests for the presence of ColorSync. Is there anyone here who can test this with a High Sierra beta?
I tried emailing Justin but haven’t heard back.
