Hello,
There is a bug in the new Java version 7, which prevents ARIS Express to start.
If you installed the new version, maybe per automatical update, you need to go back to an older version of Java.
I'm not 100% sure, because Express is not "officially" released for Mac, but I think, you've got the same problem like everybody on the Windows side using the new JRE 7.
Sorry for any inconveniences. I hope, the new JRE version, where the bug have been fixed, will be released soon, for Mac as well
Bye,
Frank
