Trying to run the 7.1.31 binary from 30.11.2018 results in failure. It is reported that the executable is damaged.

This as been tested on 10.13.6

Can you confirm that the checksums of the dmg file you downloaded are correct ?

Checksum confirmed. I get the same error.

Another user reported the same problem, and I could also confirm it after testing on another machine. I found this page very helpful:
https://www.santoshsrinivas.com/disable-gatekeeper-in-macos-sierra/
Basically the issue is that Gatekeeper by default blocks applications that are "not trusted".

Workaround 1:
Because I obviously trust my own application this is what I did: open a Terminal window and typed $ sudo spctl --master-disable Then in the System Preferences, Security and Privacy, General, Allow apps downloaded from: Anywhere. Then right click on the app icon and select open. After the first time it can be opened with a normal double-click.

Workaround2 (if you don't want to modify your System Preferences)
Instead of launching the app by double clicking on the icon in Finder, open a Terminal window and type: $ /Applications/miele-lxiv.app/Contents/MacOS/miele-lxiv

Why not just sign the App properly?

I dot not have that directory on my Mac.
