Hi All,

I am trying to install ColdFusion 2025 on Mac. I am new to Mac so any help is appreciated.

During installation, I am getting the following error:

I resolved this error by going to System Settings > Privacy and Security > Security and allowed Adobe CF2025 using Allow Anyway button.

But after that I am getting following error:

and even after using allow anyway as shown below, CF2025 doesn't install. Process get aborted here itself.

Mac Details:
OS: Mac OS Sequoia 15.3.2
Chip: Apple M3 Pro
Ram: 36 GB

Hi,

We need to eject the ColdFusion instance created during the first launch, and then you can try launching it again. It should work that way. Please refer to the attached screenshot for more details.

I am running a Mac Pro (2023) under macOS 15.4.1. I am trying to install ColdFusion 2025 using the file ColdFusion_2025_GUI_WWEJ_macos.dmg that was downloadced today. I ran the command "sudo xattr -rc 'ColdFusion 2025 Installer.app' " after downloading the dmg file.

When I double click "ColdFusion 2025 Installer", the following window appears:

I click on "Done" and in "System Settings:Privacy & Security" the following message appears: "java" was blocked to protect your Mac. I clicked "Allow Anyway" . The above window appears again along with the blocked message. This repeats over and over.

What must I do to install ColdFusion 2025?

Hi Tushar,

Please execute the following command for the installer file: sudo xattr -rc <installer_dmg_file>. If ColdFusion has already been created, eject it and try launching the installer again. Please let us know if you're still encountering any issues.
