C#, MacOS.
Thanks in advance.

Did you change your Launcher/config.json from the default at line 77?
"ib-version": "974", <- change to 978Andrey Chertok
Sure, i did it. Exception in details:

Here I use 978.2k for this field (because this value is in "About" section), but I also used 978 - same result.

The next most likely culprit would be to make sure you changed your JTS directory from its default Windows location to your local one (usually in home)
https://github.com/QuantConnect/Lean/blob/8cbdfcaf2837b79937f885a151660dc3eb65fea6/Launcher/config.json#L74If this is not the issue, can you post your config (without any personal details)?
