Hi Stace,

This is a help list made up of mostly of users responding for free and if we 
don’t know the answer we can’t help.  Your problem has been acknowledged, you 
received confirmation that the current download is broken “Yes, this one was 
broken, now there is a new version to download that is fixed (and shouold stay 
fixed in the future, for this specific problem)” and that they have found $3000 
for a permanent fix for making an easier Mac installation which is what you are 
looking for if I am not mistaken. A link to this project was sent to you. You 
could contact that team to see the evolution of that project and see how you 
can help them with the trouble shooting.  That would be a positive contribution 
on your part and it may get you to your solution faster than you think.

I know it can be frustrating to be stuck with a software problem when you need 
a quick fix but please remember that this is an OpenSource project where 
volunteer users and developers are try to be helpful and try to contribute in a 
positive manner.
