Mac BTTF 1 Not Executable

edited April 2011 in Game Support
I am using Mac OS 10.6.6 on an Intel MacBook Pro.

I got the free version of BTTF Episode 1, and downloaded it twice (since the first download didn't work), one a few days ago, and one today. In both copies, the application would not start up when clicked. Unlike other posters, I didn't even get into the launch window. I opened the package contents, and looked at the file Contents/MacOS/Mac_Game, and found that it had file permissions of 644 (admin read/write, user and group read). I changed the privileges so that it could be executed. After this, the application would run.

    i also tried to edit the permissions/privileges to 666, but the problem persists...

    i tried to run the app with the terminal, and here is the message
    david$ open ~/Downloads/BackToTheFuture101.app/
    LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file /Users/david/Downloads/BackToTheFuture101.app.
    

    this is the free Chapter 1 that I downloaded tonight at around 7pm (CET) of April 11th.

    i managed to make it run, to do so, I had to uncompress the zip file with the built-in Archive Utility, instead of The Unarchiver that i normally use... good luck!
