IF YOUR MAC IS RUNNING MAC OS 13 VENTURA
========================================

The first time you try to run PAYE Desktop Viewer after installing, you may see a message as follows:

“PAYE Desktop Viewer” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Bin.

If this happens, DO NOT click on Move to Bin; rather click on Cancel, then right click (or control-click) on the PAYE Desktop Viewer icon, and select Open from the popup menu. The error message will appear again, but now you can select the Open option. It should only be necessary to carry out this procedure once, after which the application should behave normally.
