[Resolved] Installation on OSX 10.11.6 hangs with Verifying "VirtualBox.pkg"...

[PurpleDiane]

I downloaded VirtualBox-5.2.12-122591-OSX.dmg and verified the MD5 checksum.
I double-clicked on the .dmg file and got the usual thing saying to double-click on the icon. [Can't post picture because I only joined today - of course I only joined because I have this problem, thanks for that.]

After I double-click on VirtualBox.pkg, I get a little window that says Verifying "VirtualBox.pkg"...

Which has just sat there for about 30 minutes at this point.
I have previously tried cancelling that and downloading the file again (in spite of checksums matching), but I get the same result.

Any suggestions as to what to do would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you I will give that a try. Just didn't get my search parameters quite right....

[ChipMcK]

searched Verifying VirtualBox.pkg

and remembered the flack as people couldn't believe Apple would screw up.

Haha. Turns out that restarting my Mac was enough to make it work.
I thought that was just a Windows issue.
Losing faith in Apple...
Had too many things in my search terms even though tried several.
Thanks for the help!

Glad you got it going. Marking as [Resolved].
