How to run old AirPort Utils 5.x on MacOS X maverics?

How to run old AirPort Utils 5.x on MacOS X maverics ? Because the new one is really ugly.


Solution 1:

There is a workaround detailed here: http://coreyjmahler.com/2013/10/24/airport-utility-5-6-1-on-os-x-10-9-mavericks/.

Solution 2:

I just got off the phone with Apple support and the official answer is that you can't run AirPort Utility 5.x on Mavericks or even on Mountain Lion.

Now I did have it successfully running in Mountain Lion, so I know that it is possible in that scenario, but when I tried to use Terminal to force it to run under Mavericks, I got this error:

Maybe there's a workaround, but so far, I haven't gotten anything to work. Which means that I have to boot up my old eMac to control my Airport Express, because Airport Utility version 6 isn't compatible with my Airport Express, but Airport Utility 5.6 isn't compatible with Mavericks or Mountain Lion.
