Tunnelblick wants to install version 3.4.0 every time it starts up

[andrew....@threewide.com]

If I don't agree to install version 3.4.0, the application exits.  After installing Tunnelblick 3.4.0 I'm still getting prompted to install the latest version.  I've uninstalled Tunnelblick using the uninstaller dmg but the problem keeps persisting.

I'm sorry you're having this problem. It is very weird, but there is a simple explanation.

You get that dialog if you have Tunnelblick 3.5.0 installed, and you double-click on a copy of Tunnelblick 3.4.0 that is not located in /Applications. The clue is that the dialog says "must be installed in Applications".

You may think you are double-clicking on an alias or shortcut to Tunnelblick, but you aren't -- you are double-clicking on a copy of Tunnelblick 3.4.0.

Or, if you are single-clicking on an icon in the Dock, it is not a link to the Tunnelblick in /Applications, but rather is a link to Tunnelblick 3.4.0 somewhere else.

Or you are double-clicking the Tunnelblick icon in a Tunnelblick 3.4.0 disk image.

Here is how you fix this: once Tunnelblick 3.5.0 is installed, drag whatever you are double-clicking on to the Trash or drag the Tunnelblick icon out of the Dock, as the case may be. You can then drag the Tunnelblick icon from /Applications to wherever you want – the Desktop, the Dock, or wherever – which will create an alias, and then use that alias to launch Tunnelblick.

(By the way, most people just leave Tunnelblick running all the time (but not necessarily connected to a VPN). It doesn't use many system resources if it is running but not connecting to a VPN. If Tunnelblick is running when you log out, or restart or shut down your computer, it will automatically be launched when you next log in.)

Yes!  The problem was that I had installed Tunnelblick with homebrew-cask.  I'm not sure of the details but it appears that the built-in auto-updater doesn't play work too well with this.  Thank you
