Installing Quicken Classic for Mac on a new MacAir M5 running Tahoe 26.4.1. When trying to install it fails with the following message: Failed to perform authenticated file move for Quicken.app.

Applications folder has permissions Read & Write for system and admin (me). Applications folder does not have any hidden files. Downloaded a fresh copy from quicken.com. Tried to install from Download folder and Applications folder.

The admin user was migrated from my old MacAir, and the quicken data files were restored from a backup.

I can install on a friend's MacBook with same OS (26.4.1), suspect that it is related to some configuration on the new computer.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    One thing to try would be to manually delete the old version from the Applications folder first, then try the install. Another thing to try would be to create a new (temporary) admin account on the Mac and download and install from there.
