In the latest MacOS Seirra beta 5- FortiClient breaks!

I'm running version 5.2.3.370.

 

The screen shows empty content, no buttons or text.

 

Any ideas?

If the install button doesn't work, this is what worked for me.

 

-Leave the unpacking/installation process and dialog active, even if the button doesnt work: do not close it or unmount the image.

-Open Finder, then use the Go to folder promt to go /private/var/

-Search for "fctupdate"

-When it is found, open the folder and run the forticlient.dmg from there.

 

I managed to install the FortiClient this way, but sadly it didn't allow me to connect properly anymore, resulting a -104 error. But that is another issue. We just changed to macOS VPN connection after some hours of frustration...

Unsuccessful running 5.4.1 on Sierra. Where would I find the version you have which works? I tried downloading 5.4.1 from the Fortinet website. I get as far as the modal with the Install button, but nothing happens when I click Install.
