Thanks for all the info, I found this forum while looking for this solution as this is my work computer, and I've lost a day of work over this! I don't know how the upgrade happened.... I only pressed the button to allow iTunes to be updated, I thought it was a bit suspicious when the system required a reboot after an iTunes update..... but it seems this Sierra update sneaked in and I would never have allowed that until we had the new NVidia drivers.
Anyway, unfortunately I've tried several times to follow this procedure and it still does not work for me, hope someone can help figure it out.
I've had no problem editing the Info.plist file with the new build version string, however I don't fully understand what is going on with the permissions in the second part of the process, and why this needs to be done to the whole of the Extensions folder. When I type the commands I just get a load of bounced error messages saying that the operation is not possible for every file in the Extensions folder.
I tried noaht8um's one liner as well, but similar results but with some alarming errors that I hope has not messed up my system.... I'll show you just the last part of it that came up in terminal:
....... very long list of errors cut, this is just the end....

The only thing I can think of that I may be doing differently to others is that I'm logging into the machine via a remote desktop (Teamviewer) in order to access it while I have no working display.
Anyone any ideas.... did everyone else get this list of errors? is it expected?
thanks and bye for now.
