ootp26 installation help

**I also posted this in the technical help thread.

I am on a Mac..
I have successfully installed ootpbb apps going back quite a few years - since about OOTP18 I think. So I am familiar with the installation process.
Before submitting this post I did look through the technical support posts to see if my issue was common and addressed in that thread.

Here is what I did:
1. Make purchase and get receipt/confirmation number/installation code from FastSpring.
2. Download Mac version of 26 via the link provided.
3. Open the OOTP26 installer.
4. Move OOTP26 icon into my application folder.
5. Try to open OOTP26 by clicking on the icon in the applications folder.

Here is what happened next:
1. The OOTP26 icon showed up in the menu bar and "pulsed bigger and smaller" trying to open.
2. But it eventually stopped "pulsing" and never did open the OOTP26 app. Usually once any application has been opened, there is a "small back arrow" by the icon indicating that the app is open. There was no "small black arrow" next to the icon.
3. The app never did open the OOTP26 application and bring up the OOTP start up screen as per normal.
4. When I tried again to open the program, I got a message saying: You can't open the application "OOTP Baseball 26" because it is not responding.

So I tried to delete the app, reboot the computer and start the whole process again.
When I tried deleting the OOTP26 app, it would not let me do that because the app was open.
When I tried to shut down my computer it also wouldn't let me do that as it once again reported the OOTP26 app failed to quit - meaning it is still open..

So my computer was telling me the app couldn't be opened and at the same time prohibited me from other actions because the app was still open. Very confusing.

I have tried the whole installation process from the beginning several times and rebooted several times with the same results.

Any ideas or directions would be much appreciated.
Thx
