Jim, Thanks for the report. The "total failure" message is given when the authorization wrapper for Zenmap is unable to execute an AppleScript string. I'm not sure of the cause in your case, but a workaround would be to bypass the authorization wrapper, running Zenmap without root privileges. You can do this by directly calling the zenmap.bin executable inside Zenmap.app. In most cases, this is /Applications/Zenmap.app/Contents/MacOS/zenmap.bin . I think you can use sudo to directly request root privileges. I've updated the error message to be a little more explicit, and hopefully the next release will solve this problem for you. I think it is related to the /Applications/Applications installation path problem ( http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2017/q1/55), which will definitely be solved in all future releases.

I was using 7.12 just fine and I thought I would just use the 7.40 dmg file to upgrade. After upgrading, Zenmap refuses to open. In the Mac OS X System Log I see: “Total Failure!” Any ideas? I can re-install the 7.12 version and this continues to work. My OS version is 10.12.3 Running on a Macbook Pro with 16GBs of RAM.
