Also to test you can try to launch it from your desktop. Then if it 
works close it then drag it to your /Applications folder.

I always do that for something new.

No, don't drag to the Dock.. Open up Finder and drag it to /Applications
Once it's in /Applications, THEN you can drag it to the Dock.


Thanks again for your help.

It's not that it needs eXecute permission is it?  I believe the Mac's
underlying OS is basically Unix and to allow a program to be run you
need execute permission, just read and write is not enough.

I don't know how you'd set this on Mac though I'm afraid.

Just to verify, you downloaded the DMG, opened it, and manually copied the

Try deleting the app bundle from /Applications, download again, and copy
it again?  Maybe something got corrupted?

If that doesn't work, John will wake up in a couple hours and should be
able to help you more.
