[QUOTE="cazabam, post: 255558, member: 17895"] In response to your original post, you don't move the disk image into the Applications folder! What happens is this: 1) You download a disk image 2) You double click it, and a mounted volume appears (the white disk) and a finder window 3) You drag the application icon from within the finder window into the Applications directory (you may need to press command-N to get a new finder window) 4) You drag the mounted volume and disk image from the desktop to the trash 5) You drag the application icon from Applications to the dock The disk image is 'mounted' as if it were a removable drive. Both the mounted volume and the disk image are temporary and should be discarded once installation is complete. [/QUOTE]
