Hi,
I'm not sure where you get the message, but I guess it's after a new download, on a new Mac, running macOS (High) Sierra.
If so, I quote the read me.txt which comes with the download:
Quote:read me.txt
In case your Mac prompts
'VBar Control Manager can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer'
or
'VBar Control Manager is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the trash',
please follow this little guide:
. Copy VBar Control Manager to your /Applications directory
. Open System Preferences
. Select Security
. Click the lock to make changes, enter your admin password
. Temporarily select 'Allows apps downloaded from:' and 'Anywhere'
.. In case this option is not available (macOS Sierra), please open Utilities/Terminal, and type or copy-paste sudo spctl --master-disable
.. Hit Enter
.. Enter your password, hit Enter
.. Now quit and start System Preferences again, now the option is available under Security
. Open VBar Control Manager
. Set your Security settings back to e.g. 'Mac App Store and identified developers'
. Now the VBar Control Manager will always start without this workaround
.. after this has been done once, you can revert the System Preferences with sudo spctl --master-enable in Terminal (see above)
If not, please be so kind and send screenshots so I can see ...
Best,
Eddi
