AW: How to make an app accessible for all users on Mac?

[Phil Jimmieson]

Hi Tiemo,
can you have a look at the console application (in your applications/ 
utilities folder) - and check for all messages or console messages to  
see if there's any information about why your rev app didn't start up?  
It might give a hint about what's happening.
