   NOTE: There is currently an issue with macOS Big Sur 11.0.x that may affect our installer.
   If you are installing in macOS Big Sur, and encounter the issue where FGU can’t find FGUpdaterEgine or start the Updater, please follow the temporary workaround listed here, then continue on from Step 6 below:
   - open Finder or Spotlight or Terminal and navigate to : /Applications/SmiteWorks/Fantasy Grounds/FGUpdaterEngine
   - launch the FGUpdaterEngine.app found in that folder
   - the .app will run through an update and close

   - continue installation from Step 6 below
