Guys, going to need more details before I can help further. The ZOS_Install works for most but a few do have some problem with this. To start please post your System details including OS X version, model, etc from here:

Apple icon (top left of menu bar) > About This Mac > More info…

Edit: Removed Launcher.zip as it was not working downloading it separately.

OK, not sure why it says that. It works on my iMac OS X 01.9.2

it may be that it requires proper install to function correctly.

Can you confirm your OS X version please. Also can you try to download the Mac client install via another browser like Safari. I think you are using Chrome.

I tried safari and firefox, recieved the same error, and my mac OS X version is 10.9.2

karhod

I use safari i have a IMAC OS X 10.9.2
I did what you said but when i try the launcher i receive the error that the 'launcher' is damage and can't be open. You should put this in the garbage.

Thanks for trying.

Can you enter this command via Terminal to check the java version currently installed and copy paste the relevant part:

java -version

Mine is:

java version "1.6.0_65"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_65-b14-462-11M4609)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.65-b04-462, mixed mode)

Thanks for the feedback I'll remove the file as it's not going to work this way it looks.

Can you post your java details please from details above.

This error message about an app being damaged is caused by the Gatekeeper, and is described in this Apple knowledge base article.

Now, you could check your Gatekeeper settings under

Apple menu > System Preferences… > Security & Privacy > General tab

and set "Allow apps downloaded from" to "Anywhere", and see if that remedies the situation. If it doesn't, there might be a way to circumvent it, but it's black magick.

If that file looks like this and give incomplete or damaged message it is normal. Once it is installed it is working.

DID WHAT YOU SAID, THEN USED THE LAUNCHER THAT MOONRAKER SUPPLIED AND IT WORKED! THIS IS THE SOLUTION,
@Moonraker if you took down the launcher i suggest putting it back up thansk so much everyone!

Holy c**p why didn't I realise that about Gatekeeper. I had the pop-up message asking to confirm but I changed as usual the default to Anywhere....

Great going @KhajitFurTrader I assume it is because they have not added an Apple Developer certificate to the ZOS_Install?

Doesn't that resolve the issue with the ZOS_Install directly downloaded from the Account page? by changing the Gatekeeper settings? Please check so I don't have to upload it again as I only have 100kb/sec upload ^^

coolyojulio

The only thing is its opening it up but not installing? and no i tried with the original download client and it still doesn't work that way
all it does is stay at this screen
@Moonraker i uploaded the zip file, but what were the steps we are supposed to follow?

The unzipped ESO_Install app seems to be alright. I checked it with

sudo spctl -v --assess ~/Downloads/Install_ESO.app

and it says

/Users/<account>/Downloads/Install_ESO.app: accepted
source=Developer ID

But when I do

sudo spctl -v --assess /Applications/Zenimax\ Online/Launcher.app

this is the result:

/Applications/Zenimax Online/Launcher.app: a sealed resource is missing or invalid

But it runs for me, and my Gatekeeper is set to "Mac App Store and identified developers".

So bit confused. Where are you currently which the Install process? Let's ensure it works then I can pull all the details together is easier.

it has been like this for 10 min,
also what was it you wanted us to name the folder that we put the launcher in?

What I posted:

To install this you need to make a folder called Zenimax Online in your Applications folder. Put the unzipped Launcher into the new Zenimax Online folder. Then drag the icon to the Dock and create a shortcut to launch more easily or make an Alias for the Desktop.

Now try launching it and see if it updates itself.

You MUST remember to manually go into the Options (top right cog icon) and select the correct region Megaserver, either North America or Europe. Also the language you want and Apply.

Then, on the main window it should show the install greyed and select Install from the Game Options drop down menu on that right side.

it will install all the data into the actual Launcher itself now (before it was separate folders) Initially it will make a large 22GB temporary install folder for depot without any actual download. Then when its ready wil start the download proper. Let it download.

It will do several more downloads until it says Complete. Then you should be ready.

Try that and post how it goes.

My results for the same two:

ZOS_Install

/Users/<account>/Downloads/Install_ESO.app: accepted
source=Developer ID

Then in Launcher

/Applications/Zenimax Online/Launcher.app: accepted
override=security disabled

So it looks that they don't have the Apple Developer certificate in the Launcher, but it does work for you regardless? As mine is Anywhere and guessing that is reflected in the override=security disabled.

But the ZOS_Install does have the certificate = source=Developer ID?

Still unsure then where the issue lies with the ZOS_Install install process.

Hi. Installer's still not working.

Here's my system specs
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac12,2
Processor Name: Intel Core i5
Processor Speed: 2,7 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 8 GB
Boot ROM Version: IM121.0047.B1E
SMC Version (system): 1.72f5

When I ran "sudo spctl -v --assess ~/Install_ESO.app" on official install app, I got:
Install_ESO.app: accepted
source=Developer ID
override=security disabled

"java -version"
java version "1.6.0_65"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_65-b14-462-11M4609)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.65-b04-462, mixed mode)

And my mac accepts installation from "anywhere"

Is there any other way to get the game? Do we absolutely have to use the installer?

mikeeatworld

Yeah, having similar issues to most, my MAC client is working, the launcher is up. However it downloads at around 115 k/b's, but managers to get itself stuck on 16%, left it over night and came down to it on the same % this morning..

First thing to try is to Cancel the donwload via Options (top fight cog icon) Cancel. Then under the Game Options (right side by install window) click Repair. Let it run and verify the downloaded files. It will usually build temporary files to do the check and take a little time. Once it runs it should either automatically recommence install or press Install.

As you have only downloaded a partial amount it may not be worth it, but there is a chance that it can wipe the installed folder (wipe not to trash) So it is strongly recommended to backup the Launcher.app as it contains the downloaded files.

If that doesn't help get the download working correctly post back and we can look at possible network issue.

Also worth ensuring the OS X Firewall is switched off during download and that any router firewall is not blocking it in some way.

System Preferences > Secuirty & Privacy > Firewall

This is in OS X 10.9 Mavericks, It may be slightly different in other versions.

I posted the Launcher.app to this thread which is now on the post by @coolyojulio here.

Follow the instructions I posted above here.

Ensure that Gatekeeper is set to Anywhere (see above), or it will give the damaged error.

Do ensure you have selected the correct region before starting the Install from Launcher.
