Installing Lync (Plugin SkypeforBusinessPlugin) on Mac

Hi,

when I want to join a Lync meeting, I have to install the  SkypeforBusinessPlugin.pkg to run the meeting.However it is not possible to run this package. It says 'installer quit unexpectedly' while starting and the error log shows the following. I have OSX V. 10.9.5.

How can this be resolved?

Thanks!
