Unable to run InstallForMacOSX.app for R2015a on OS X Yosemite 10.10.5

When I try to launch InstallForMacOSX.app I get the message "The application "InstallForMacOSX.app" can't be opened". I have read the comments and help files but they seem to relate to earlier versions.

I have updated java and tried to open it by right-clicking. Attached is a screenshot. Any suggestions? Thanks very much

What is your security setting about opening applications from unknown developers?

Hi Ellen,

If Walter's suggestion doesn't fix it, there are additional suggestions in this thread:

While these are for an older release, they are good steps to try.

Hope that helps,

I have the same problem and I've tried to follow the thread but with no hope. Is there any other solution for this problem?

Hi there,

Thanks for your replies - I didn't see them earlier.

I have changed the security settings to allow installation from anywhere, so I don't think it's obviously related to Gatekeeper.

I have tried changing the permissions of all the files as suggested in the other post but it didn't change anything and I get the same "can't be opened" message.

Any further suggestions very gratefully received.

Thanks

Ellen
