HWMonitor is trying to install new helper tool

[chchew]

Hi, same problem here.
It's some settings you've changed in that require a helper tool. annoying if you don't remember which ones.

remove /Users/yourusernamehere/Library/Application Support/HWMonitor either by going to the finder and pressing Apple-shift-G and pasting in /Users/yourusernamehere/Library/Application Support/ and dragging it to the trash or in the terminal:

rm -rf /Users/yourusernamehere/Library/Application Support/HWMonitor

Should do the trick

This helps! Thank you!

Edit: got it working with the binary at https://github.com/kzlekk/HWSensors/releases/tag/6.26 instead of the pkg, don't know why it worked this time around but the binary did work.

On Catalina 10.15.4 I can confirm that installing the binaries worked perfectly for me. No issues with prompts. Lots of sensors reported. I can create a fan profile the works after updating the BIOS to disable fan control.

Using the package, I would get prompted "HWMonitor is trying to install new helper tool" continuously as soon as I tried to change the fan profile, and I could not control the fan. The package did provide all of the sensors.
