Install issues OpenXTalk lite

[Skids]

Hi,
I have just downloaded and attempted to install the latest version of OpenXTalk Lite. I am unable to open the application ReadThisFirst.app as the OS reports that it is broken. I suspect it means that the code is incorrectly signed. The same is true for OpenXTalk Lite as well.

I have followed the instructions in the read me file that describe the installation of a new certificate into keychain and then applying the certificate to OpenXTalk Lite. Unfortunately the terminal command reports that it is unable to locate the certificate:

Code: Select all

% codesign -fs 'OpenXTalk Lite' --deep /Applications/OpenXTalk\ Lite.app
error: The specified item could not be found in the keychain.

I have searched the keychain and the certificate is present and expires 1May 2025.

Any ideas what is going wrong?

The first lead to finding a solution is for you to tell us what sort of computer, and what sort of operating system you are trying to install OXT Lite on.

If you are using some type of Apple running MacOS you have to disable SMC and then allow your system to install EVERYTHING via the system settings/preferences.

Good point Richmond.

My computer is an Apple M2 studio running OS Sonoma 14.5

Unfortunately Apple have removed the option to disable integrity checking from system settings.

but I'm sure it can be achieved from Terminal.

I found this post you made a while ago: viewtopic.php?p=10595&hilit=Install+Mac ... alk#p10595

The key is to ensure that system settings is not running when the terminal command is run.

The Readme.App still reports as damaged which I guess is a certification error. Might be a better idea to supply it as a plain apple script or text file.

Re-installed OpenXTalk lite and it now opens. So thanks for the terminal command.
