      Workaround

      A workaround by davidsiegel can be found in this comment.

      After executing the last launcher's update everything is working fine but not when I switch user on the Mac and try to launch MC again.

      The message I get then is:

      "Minecraft updater. Unable to start Minecraft, if you are running from a dmg, please drag to Applications and try again"

      As a check I reinstalled MC on the account with the problem and then the situation is reversed: everything works fine but when I switch user I get exactly the same error.
