Can't Install CF2023 on MacOS Ventura

Question

As with the previous version, I am unable to install CF2023 on my Mac running Ventura 13.3.1 (a) (22E772610a).

When I try to run the installer it is not allowed until I click "Allow Anyway" in the Privacy and Security settings. Then I run the installer again and this time the same thing happens for "java". But even when I click "Allow Anyway" amd rerun the installer I always get stuck at the "java" part. Very frustrating. I had the exact same issue before and it was never solved. I assume no one on the ColdFusion team acatully tried to install it in on OSX?

Any help or thoughts?

SOLVED: After I mounted the ColdFusion_2023_GUI_WWEJ_macos.dmg and the "ColdFusion 2023 Installer" was available, I went to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Developers Tools. There I added the ColdFusion 2023 Installer. After I did that, I was able to run the installer and, so far, it seems to have worked. I'm not sure why this info is not more easily availale for those who download the Mac installer.

Anyway, I hope this helps someone else.

Had you tried what's indicated in the cf2023 release notes :

"On macOS, before launching the ColdFusion installer, run "xattr -rc” command against the installer dmg."

I'm not saying that IS the solution to that specific error, but it sure seems it may be...and seems also to counter your last point, otherwise how would they know to suggest it?
