Since OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) by default forbids installing untrusted apps ("Gatekeeper" feature). Workaround for now is to enable it in System preferences | Security & Privacy (allow application downloaded from anywhere).
Jirko, what do you think ... can we do that for 7.2.1 ?

I think Tomas H. also tried to request one, am I right? (In reply to comment #2) > (In reply to comment #1) > > Jirko, what do you think ... can we do that for 7.2.1 ? > > I don't know yet. Depends on how complicated is get the Mac certificate.

Until resolved this issue would be nice to describe this problem in the release notes. I figured out an another workaround this. If users invoke Open action from a pop-up menu over NetBeans 7.2.mpkg file then the gatekeeper warns the user but allow to open the installer anyway, so not needed to change the System preferences. Ken, Alyona, could you take care about it? Thank you

Just a note - the latest update of OS X Lion (10.7.5) also contains the "Gatekeeper" feature that by default forbids installing untrusted apps. So this improvement will be also useful for Lion users.
