As I mentioned, unfortunately re-enabling the “from anywhere” option is not 
enough.

Apparently there is some ‘quarantine flag’ that gets set in the application 
itself.

Even after enabling ‘from anywhere’ on this machine, then installing, then 
running the app (leaving the Finder window open in the background), I get to 
our login window, enter credentials (yeah…looks like everything is working), 
and then suddenly my application disappears from the Finder window.

As soon as I try to do anything in our open windows, 4D crashes hard because 
the application package is no longer where it started and apparently those 
paths are important to 4D engine.

I repeated this exercise a few times. It was kind of fun.

NOT.
