Do you get an error message popping up saying it can't find the
application to execute runIDV or something like that?

Our installer system for Mac is not the greatest.  If you 
open a terminal window and go to the directory where the
runIDV script is and type runIDV, does it start up?

Also, see the Known Problems entry on this:
