I've trying to use uninstall.tool (script) (part of ExpessVPN app), to completely remove all traces from Mac,

However, i ran into an issue:


I'm guessing it's Apple related. but it needs access to osascript.... I'm assuming this in universally accessed, because VMWare fusion required access to this after install, which I said "Don't allow" ( since them had no issues with Fusion) as i didn't see the point allowing something for the sake of it.

However, i reckon this is the cause.. so how can i "unblock" this for uninstall.tool

I would of thought osascript would be handled by "System events' or something, thus prompting "per-app"
 
Solved.

needed to move (create alias) uninstall.tool from Resources folder to/Library/LaunchAgents of Macintosh HD, then could run from Terminal and dialog box launched

The uninstall tool should not stay in the LaunchAgents folder.
