I had tried all that. Finally gave up and restarted the computer. Then it worked fine. Thanks.

Then go to the application directory and use command-down-arrow to open the file. You can continue to open it this way, or you can place it in the dock for faster access by doing the following: When you have the file open, it will show up in the dock. Go to the dock and find it, press shift-VO-m for the contextual menu, go into the options submenu, and choose "keep in dock". All of this applies to any application files with a .app extension, or files that indicate they are applications. Sometimes in dmg files, you will find an installer, which will be clearly indicated. You can open the installers right from the dmg file, do the install, then delete the dmg file or archive it somewhere if you want to keep it.

I opened the dmg and there are two files, google chrome, selected application and space, alias. No matter how I try to open the google chrome file I can't get it to do anything. Tried Command O, spacebar, VO spacebar, Shift VO spacebar, even clicking the physical mouse.
