I can't open the Desktop Server zip file I downloaded on my mac.

I changed the preferences to allow applications from anywhere, but I can't even unzip the zip file.

What program are you using to open the zip file, just the standard archive utility? OSX itself shouldn't have a problem opening an archived file, though you've allowed applications from anywhere so it should work. It is possible your zip could have become corrupted somehow so also try downloading the file again.

Thanks, Luke! I downloaded it again, and it opened just fine.
