This error message appears when your Mac security settings do not allow installing software from an unknown developer. To resolve the issue, you can follow these steps:

1. Right-click the "HP Easy Start" file and select "Get Info".

2. In the "General" section, look for a section called "Open Anyway". If it's not present, go to the next step.

3. If the "Open Anyway" section is present, click on the "Open" button.

4. If the "Open Anyway" section is not present, go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy, and under the "General" tab, click on the lock icon to make changes.

5. Change the "Allow apps downloaded from" setting to "Anywhere" and try installing the software again.

6. After the software is installed, change the setting back to its original value for security purposes.

Note: If the software is not from a trusted source, it's recommended to not install it to prevent any potential harm to your Mac.
