When i try to open the EVE launcher on my mac, it keeps getting stuck on verifying 'EVE Online'. Anyone know how to fix this? EDIT: turns out i was just being impatient. Took a little while for the launcher to verify. The bar looked full and looked like it wasn't responding but it was doing something! Thanks for your suggestion though guys! 2020-3-7 What to do if your Mac is verifying applications. There are a lot of reasons your Mac might take a long time verifying applications before you can open them. Try each of the potential solutions below, testing your applications again after each one.
Moderator edit to sum up the issueThere seems to be a problem with OSX 10.11.x when verifying/opening files and not just the VirtualBox.pkg. The problem is not seen by all users, but it is affecting a lot of them. There is no known permanent solution or explanation to the problem so far.

The dmg mounts on my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) running OS X 10.11.4
When I try to run the installer, VirtualBox.pkg, either directly from the mounted dmg, or by copying it to the internal drive, it hangs at Verifying 'VirtualBox.pkg'.. for at least well over an hour. The progress bar does not advance.

I have 'admin' privileges on the machine. I have been able to install other packages without issue.
There is nothing that I see in Console that indicates the cause of the issue.
The thread 'Installing VirtualBox on El Capitan' (I can't post URLs) is an apparently different issue, and does not indicate a solution.
