It doesn't start from my non-admin account - message is displayed *"You can't open the application "%@" because it may be damaged or incomplete."* Yet Couchbase starts successfully from if I start it from the command line using an administrator account. In addition not all the menu options under the Couchbase icon work, e.g. *Open Admin Console* or *About Couchbase Server*.

I installed Couchbase Server and Sync Gateway locally as I expect I will use both in production/when my app is released.
