Can't install a .mpkg file - a Security Preferences issue?

I'm having the issue installiung a .mpkg file - it's an App from Pantone.


The message says "Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac Store and identified developers"


I went into the "get info" and made sure that "Installer" was selected under "Open With:" but that didn't fix it.

Hello, you must be on 10.8!???


By default Apple has changed the security settings to only allow installation of apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers. To change this permanently or temporarily go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy. On the General Tab click the little lock in the lower left corner to unlock the general preference pane.
