What do you mean? Have you played with the folder permissions?andrew.glesener said:My computer is locked so i cant modify the applications folder.
You actually have to drag it from its expanded (mounted) dmg image "folder" to "somewhere", but that "somewhere" can be anywhere. You can't just open the DMG though and run it from there since technically it isn't installed anywhere at that point. You could drag it to the desktop, to the documents folder, etc and then drag the icon to the dock, but you cant leave it in the dmg file and drag the icon to the dock and run it.TBoblp said:Tried it with skype too. Ran fine from both the desktop and an external hard drive (figured that would be the ultimate test)
