We had another report of this message with the update, but they indicated that when they ran it with administrative privileges the update worked…

Please keep me posted…

One of the biggest fixes is that the Mac version of Alice 2 now correctly displays images and objects with transparent elements. For example, on the Mac version of Alice 2, the wings of the faeries were always displayed with a black box around them. This box is no longer visible.

All you will need to do is click on "Update". On lab machines, you may have to do this with administrator privileges.
