    i found this problem trying installing some audio software (in particular with fxpansion plugins)

    Yosemite was not able to run the installer for some unknown reason. That was appened also with other type of software (like battlenet installer)

    any way after a long reasearch i found the soluction to fix that bug, and i hope sharing this way can help other peoples :)

    That the way to operate:

    first open terminal and type : chmod u+x (do not give return)

    *right-click on the .app you want to to install.
    *show content package
    *go to: contents -> MacOS
    *drop the "InstallSystem" file into terminal (after you type chmod u+x)

    a final line on the terminal should look like this:

    chmod u+x /Users/Peppino/Downloads/FXpansion.Maul.v1.0.0.7.WIN.OSX.Incl.Patched.and.Keygen-R2R/r2r-3894/Maul_1007/Maul\ Installer\ OSX.app/Contents/MacOS/FXpansionInstallSystem )

    *return

    now installer is executable!
