When the installation window appears, drag the Slingplayer Desktop.app icon into the Applications folder.
Slingplayer for Mac is now installed, and is in your Applications folder.
After installation, if you click the Slingplayer Desktop icon to open it, you may see this message if your Mac is running OS X version 10.9.5 or greater:
This message is the result of a security change that Apple made to OS X 10.9.5. It does not mean that there is anything wrong with Slingplayer for Desktop. Rather, OS X is simply asking you to verify that you installed the copy of Slingplayer Desktop that you're opening.
Here are a couple of ways to take care of this: /izotope-vocal-eraser-plug-in-download.html.
