Title: Exif tool OSX install problem
Post by: bgervais on October 28, 2015, 08:06:21 PM

I'm posting here, but this may also be a bug.

Downloading the OSX build released today (10.04), and opening the DMG results in a blank window with a spinning busy icon in the lower right of the window... no installer package to be found inside the DMG...

Running Yosemite 10.10.5

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Hi Ben,

I just downloaded the DMG on my 10.10.5 system here and it opened just fine. Then running the installer worked too.

Check your security settings, and allow applications from other developers. This, combined with an OS X bug could cause the beachball maybe.

3 (!) reboots seem to have fixed the problem... never seen that before, but thanks for checking my sanity.

That's a bit scary.
