OSStatus error 99999
Hello!
I get this error message when opening applications not from the App Store. Is there a fix for this? Thank you for the help!
MacBook Air, macOS High Sierra (10.13.6)
Hi,
SystemPolicy corrupted, no? Somebody has a better idea?
You can try:
copy/paste the line below in your Terminal:
sudo cp /var/db/.SystemPolicy-default /var/db/SystemPolicy
(type enter)
(type your admin password)
And restart.
Regards.

I'm confident it is the OS unless the network or browser (safari) I'm downloading the applications (3 independent, unrelated software programs) through is corrupting them. All downloads are coming directly from the original creators of the software which are Thea Benchmark Tool, Solidthinking Evolve, & Google Chrome. Microsoft Office worked, but that isn't really surprising since it is probably the most ubiquitous software on the planet and is no doubt an identified developer. Google Chrome actually installed but when you try to run the application it says ""Google Chrome" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash."
Maybe it is just a faulty computer (its brand new)?
Certainly not hardware-related, IMO. But I don't know some apps you want to install, I go seek a tad...
May I propose you to use this app http://www.etrecheck.com/ (widely used in this forum, a serious tool not a gadget) to check your system. Clean suspect files as advised and solve problems as far as you can.
Restart and see how things evolve. If nothing better, please post your results here and wait for expert advices.
Regards.
PS: Your Google Chrome is most certainly corrupted, I'm 90% certain (certainly it happened during download). Try to uninstall it and download a new one, maybe from another browser, like Firefox Quantum, to be totally sure it does the things properly.
Thank you Almojgar, it worked!
I tried this and it isn't working. After that I decided to reinstall the OS, still not working.
Hi,
This trick does nothing more than assuming that the system reports wrongly that an application is corrupted. Maybe this app is simply corrupted for good... try to download it again.
Regards.
