Yes, it's installing, but the OS treats non App Store Apps differently now.. You have to go to System Settings > Privacy and Security, All the way to the bottom, you'll see a button asking to Allow the App to run.

Sadly does not resolve issue on a managed machine. The app is presently unrunable, given this issue.

@mike2212 You have to decide yourself if that's in-line with your companies guidelines, but

xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Barrier.ap

should get Barrier out of quarantine, e.g. should enable you to open it.
