I'm getting crashes immediately on start-up with Lync 14.0.7 (and 14.0.6). The Crash Report shows that something is hanging up with the NSNotificationCenter on Mavericks which causes Lync to crash.
I've reinstalled several times, even rolled back to 14.0.6, and it's still happening. I trashed both theMicrosoft Lync Data folder and the com.microsoft.lync.plist file, and they haven't been recreated yet, as Lync is not even getting to the point in the start-up where it looks for or creates those files.
I've restarted several times, and have been running it on a separate Mac with no problems. It seems to me that Lync is trying to set up a notification observer, which is already allocated or some-such. In any event it seems like just setting up the observer, maybe without de-allocating it first, is doing something-or-other. Please pardon the technical jargon ;)
Let me create and paste in a fresh crash report...
That was easy ;) Here's the first part showing the crash.
