Hi Dan, just to clarify things in my mind, assuming you don't have a .pkg installer, I was told to copy the application to the applications folder, then run the application to install it, and then close the application, and then eject the .dmg image from the finder, but assuming it doesn't need to ask questions, is the application installed, by virtue of the fact that it is in the applications folder, and if not, can you just remove the .dmg image from the finder, and then, run the application to install it afterwards? I ask because, I installed adium last week, and after copying the application to the applications folder, I ran the application, but it must have closed some how, and this, before I ejected the .dmg image from the finder, so I ran it again, and from the dock, ran the setup assistant, and all was well, just want the understanding of this to be clear in my mind. Thanks in adva nce.On Sat, 1 Aug 2009 18:57:10 -0400, Dan Eickmeier wrote: Hi Robin, what I usually do is eject the image with command e after I've moved the application file into the applications folder.
