Hi Ricardo, OK, here's the link to the Stanza.dmg file that I used to install Stanza desktop on a 13" MacBook Air running Lion, OS X 10.7.3: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/460554/Stanza.dmg It shows up under Mission Control right after my Dropbox installation, which I think was done in mid-February. Had to do all these from scratch on a new machine, because my MacBook Pro went in for service, and I thought it would be easier to start fresh instead of using Migration Assistant from a cloned backup. So the download came from the CNet site.
I had no trouble opening up the duplicate download that I just tried, following the outlined instructions. (Of course, I didn't try to install the program again.) I haven't yet applied the latest java updates from software update, but that's the only difference I can think of, apart from possible machine architecture. Try this, and let me know what happens. I probably won't keep the link active very long, because I prefer to direct people to the original source for programs that are available.
