To fix this you need to flag our launcher installer launcher-installer-macos to be executable. To do this open the Terminal utility in your Mac and type
chmod 755
then hit the space bar. Then drag that file from where Epic installed it (by default /Users/Shared/Epic Games/Prison Architect/) and drop it on that terminal utility, and hit Enter to make that change. Then run the game from Epic, it should then install.

⟟ tried that, and the issue still persists.

Go to launcher-installer-macos and hit command-i (Get Info). Does it now show as an executable? If not, please try hat process again as something went wrong in it.
