Failed to install the third-party software: VEXnet Serial USB Driver

Does anyone have a solution to the below error? I'm on a Macbook Pro. I have tried to intall and uninstall numerous times with no luck.

Failed to install the third-party software:

• VEXnet Serial USB Driver

This is required by:

• Simulink Coder Support Package for ARM Cortex-based VEX Microcontroller

I confirm the failure.

I am also encountering this issue on my macOS 10.14.6 Macbook Airs.

Unfortunately, beginning with Mac OS 10.11, the VEX ARM Hardware Support Package is no longer supported on Mac because VEX does not provide appropriately signed drivers for Mac.

The recommended workaround is to install Windows on the Mac machines in order to use this Hardware Support Package.

10.11? Apple did not strictly require signed drivers until 10.15 as far as I know??

Has this issue been resolved? I have a student that has downloaded matlab on a mac os with Catalina 10.14, I believe, and he cannot get the Vex add-ons. I am assuming they are not supported. But wanted to check.

[Walter Roberson]

The support package is definitely not supported for Mac 10.11 and later.

I do not have a PC running at the moment to install the package into in order to figure out which components are loaded in order to see whether Vex has recently Mac versions of them.
