Can't install LC 7.1dp1 on Mac OS 10.6.8

Anybody else try to install LC 7.1dp1 on Mac OS 10.6.8?
It will not install for me, something about a dynlib or something?
Is this a known bug or should I file a bug report?

So, I installed 7.1dp1 on a Mac running 10.9.5 and copied it over to the Mac running 10.6.8 resulting in crashing.
Looks like something related to AVFoundation:

Exception Type: EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP)
Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000000

While it's good to see the LiveCode team continue to support OS X 10.6.8, Apple stopped providing security updates for that version nearly two years ago:

For reasons not publicly explained Apple is the only major OS vendor that doesn't communicate critical end-of-life dates to their customers, so one can hardly be blamed for not knowing about this increasing vulnerability risk. Microsoft commonly provides EOL dates at least half a decade in advance, and Ubuntu provides them even before a given version is released.
