This is due to a recent OS & Java update you may have done. To resolve, follow these steps (until version 4.5.15 is available)

1) Go to your Applications folder
2) Find the ViewletBuilder4 folder and open it
3) Find the ViewletBuilder program icon, right click on it and select Show Package Contents
4) Open the Contents folder
5) Replace the Info.Plist file and Start VB

For best results, we recommend that you update your OS & Java to the latest version.
