So I'm running Catalina 10.15.2 and today I wanted to install the latest version of Silverfast (scanning software) which I downloaded and I also downloaded the latest driver for my scanner to add support for Catalina. Both programs are made by different companies.
When I install either all that happens is I get the spinning beach ball after I agree to the license agreement and I've left it for several hours but it makes no difference. I've also downloaded other software from Silverfast that also won't install and I've tried downloading software from other 3rd parties that also won't install.
My security settings are set to allow apps from the App Store and identified developers, I've disabled firewalls but nothing seems to make any difference. I was able to update my Adobe apps through Creative Cloud so it looks like it just doesn't like letting apps install directly via the OS but that's just a guess.
Any ideas?
