Problem

To install Rational Performance Tester (RPT) via IBM Installation Manager (IM), the RPT_SETUP archive file is downloaded and extracted first in order to install IM.
Running Install.app in Finder from the RPT_SETUP/InstallerImage_macosx_cocoa_x86_64 folder, as showing in the following screen capture:
CatalinaInstall
An error message is displayed:
This problem is not limited to RPT only, but also applies to other products that use IM for installation.

Cause

The macOS Catalina security restrictions prevent applications not notarized with Apple from installing; the IM files are not notarized and are thus not trusted by Catalina.

Resolving The Problem

Since the problem was found during IM installation for RPT, RPT folder names are used here. But this solution works for IM in general.
To resolve this problem:

Unable To Install Catalina 10.15.4

  1. If you have the IM installer files in a macOS folder like Downloads or Documents, move them to a folder that you created manually in a non-special location, like the root of your home directory (for example: ~/installers).
  2. Open the Terminal application.
  3. cd to the RPT_SETUP directory.
  4. Run the command: sudo xattr -rcs .
    This command removes the extended attributes for all the files under the current directory. Some of these attributes are preventing the installation. Since these attributes are not required for the installation, it is safe to remove all of them.
  5. Enter your sudo password.
    This screen capture shows the previous steps:
  6. Verify that all metadata was stripped by using this command:
    sudo xattr -lr .
    This command returns no output if the metadata was successfully stripped. If there is output, that means all metadata was not stripped. Do not proceed to the next step until all metadata is stripped.
  7. Go back to Finder and run Install.app.
  8. IM now starts and you can proceed with the installation.
