[QUOTE="wtdedula, post: 792011, member: 41424"] Hello All; Thanks for all of your helpful responses. I have a few comments and more questions. First,Dysfunction - I probably need to clarify things. I never consider a CD or DVD to be Mac-Only. I realize that data can be written on it using either a PC or a Mac and both can read them as well. My goal for this project is to have one set of data and then create a small installer program for both formats on the same disk that can be used to install them. Kash - I may very well consider Toast since I heard it hides files that won't run on the system you're currently using. And ... technologist - That's quite a message with lots of good tips. I have a few questions ... and some comments. 1) Do you need Admin rights to install any software or files ? If so, this would be an issue for me no matter how and what method I use to get the files to the users computer. 2) ¥our second point isn't quite true in my particular case. I am using a Mac software installer to place my application in a particular place (The "Applications" directory) in the root directory on the system hard drive. 3) I have used a professional software installer (Filestorm Pro) to install my main application though I am trying to create a single disk that can install the data on either a PC or a Mac for the application. I would like suggested ways I can create a utility that copies the files on a DVD to a Mac in a particular location. Tim [/QUOTE]
