TrueCrypt is a free and open source disk encryption program that supports Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux operating systems. TrueCrypt can create a virtual encrypted disk within a file or encrypt a partition or (under Microsoft Windows except Windows 2000 and Windows 8 with GPT) the entire storage device (pre-boot authentication).

Yesterday, I upgraded my MacBook OS to Yosemite 10.10. But when I reinstall Truecrypt(For some reasons, recommend Truecrypt 7.1a version), something get error.
Guess the OS X version numbers. Truecrypt thinks 10.10 is < 10.4 (the minimum Truecrypt requires), and the installer will block it’s installation on Yosemite. So you’ll be able to install it again on 10.40…or maybe, possibly 10.11 or later.
In the end, I found two solutions:
The first:
- Open the .dmg
- You’ll find the .mpkg. Right*click and “Show Package Contents”
- Open Contents Dir
- Open Packages Dir
- Install each of the 4 packages in this order:
OSXFUSECore.pkg
,OSXFUSEMacFUSE.pkg
,MacFUSE.pkg
,TrueCrypt.pkg
(It is possible MacFUSE.pkg will install the two before it, but we ran each to play it safe.).
That’s it; it’s Truecrypt has been working fine for us using this method.
The second:
- Open the .dmg
- You’ll find the
.mpkg
. Right click and “Show Package Contents” - Open Contents Dir
- Edit Contents/distribution.dist using Text Editor
- You’ll find the code as below
- change it as follow:

Now, you can install .mpkg without error.
