Hi, folks, hoping to get some help with this issue. I searched the
Yahoo group archives and then sent this request to the group ~4 hours
ago, have not received a response yet.
I renamed my old installation and installed the rc5 version; the
install process produced no errors but when I try to start the app,
the below messages appear in Console. There are ~30 variations on the
first message regarding varios frameworks when I initially attempt to
start the app (after which the second message appears), any attempts
to start the app again after the first attempt results only in the
third error message. I have deleted the installation and reinstalled,
with the same results. Any ideas? The 2.0 installation still functions...

Hi OM,
I am not fully conversant with the internals of the macOS built in
anti-virus protection. When you download an unsigned application from an
untrusted source, i.e. the Internet, it will be flagged as quarantined
the first time an attempt to open it happens, this includes setting the
quarantine extended attribute on all application files. This is the
action of the Gatekeeper service, i.e. the lack of an "Open" button and
a warning message unless you override by Control+clicking to open the
application (https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT202491) indicates this.
Once you override that, another sub-system kicks in called XProtect
which virus scans the application before finally allowing it to run. If
XProtect detects malware (may be a false positive) it moves the
offending application content to /private/var/something-or-other to
quarantine it. If the application passes the virus scan then XProtect
removes the quarantine extended attributes from the application files
and it can run normally like any other application.
The messages you are seeing seems to be related to XProtect not finding
the files it is trying to move to quarantine. I think the problem maybe
occurred when you moved the old WSJT-X application. That shouldn't be an
issue but it seems to be so. How you clear up the mess I have no idea,
but start by deleting both of your WSJT-X applications and empty the
Trash Can so they are really gone. Then try installing again. BTW we
have taken the WSJT-X v2.1.0 RC5 for macOS off the project web site and
Source Forge files area since it has some major defects, we will publish
an RC6 soon with fixes.
