The text in an error dialog is typically a washed down version of the actual
error. See if you can get the user to give you a sysdiagnose log, taken just
after reproducing the problem, so you can check out the .logarchive to see what
the actual error was from the system. It should provide more insight into what
the problem actually is.
btw, if you sent the app as a zip file you should double check the permissions
on the app, including its bundle contents. Your uid may not be the same has
the users uid, so the privs could be set to not allow anyone but you to open
it. Thats why installers are better than sending the raw bits.
