Hi hgd,

Welcome to the forums

This isn't an error I've seen before, could you please try removing the app from your Mac by sending the app to the trash, then emptying the trash. Now visit the below link and download a fresh version of the .dmg and try installing this again!

Hi Dan,

i did it but nothing is changed.

I have no Idea.

Thank you for spending your Time

Thanks for that, I can see in your original screenshot that your Admin account has 'Read-only' access to this app, not read & write.

Can you please open System Preferences>Security & Privacy and make sure that 'Allow apps downloaded from' is set to 'App Store and identified developers'

Now return to System Preferences>Users & Groups and make sure your Admin account has Read and Write access (this can also be set in the Get Info panel as shown in your screenshot).

Hi Dan,

the same like bevore

I'm sorry to see this, I've done a cursory Google search and it appears as though this is happening as the app doesn't have executable permissions.

Although the following is third party advice and isn't something I've tested personally, would you be willing to try the terminal commands given at the following links?

Hi Dan, thank you for your support. But i’m a worker on building site’s, not an administrator.

My other apps from Affinity, Designer and Photo, i ordered in the Mac App Store and they run. 

I use them for an honorary office. Publisher was the next wish for this job.

i hope now that Serif will send me the money back. 

I also have the apps on my iPad Pro and i will wait for the Publisher iPad app.

Thank you and best regards
