Could not load Network Link Conditioner preference pane

Question

I installed the latest version of Hardware IO Tools for Xcode (Oct 2013) on OS X 10.8.5. I installed the "Network Link Conditioner preference pane". I get the following error every time I try to run this toolCould not load Network Link Conditioner preference pane`
I tried to re-install the package but got the same error. Who knows how to fix the problem?

My Solution: I've installed OS X Mavericks and that fixed the problem.

Answer 1

As said, use Hardware IO Tool for Xcode - Late July 2012.

Installation steps to be sure that it works:

1. Remove any currently installed Network Link Conditioner preference panes (right-click it in the System Preferences window for the option to delete).
2. Verify that there is no file called Network Link Conditioner.prefPane in either /Library/PreferencePanes/ or ~/Library/PreferencePanes/; if they're there, remove them by hand.
3. Empty your trash
4. Restart your Mac
5. Then, re-install from the old version mentioned above (from late July 2012).

Having to empty your trash and restart your Mac gives the whole process a nice touch of nostalgia for ex-Windows users, but it really made the difference for me.

Answer 2

I had same issue. I downloaded the Hardware IO Tool for Xcode - Late July 2012. It installed without any problem on OS X 10.8.5.
