Hi Richard,
beeing for a long time only a windows user and developer I totally agree to
your arcticle that DMGs can be very confusing. Since I had no experience

Hi Richard,
I use Monte's InstallGadget for the initial InfoWallet installer on both Mac
and Windows. The Windows version is fantastic but the Mac version is very
basic. I still use the Windows version but have switched to DMG Canvas
(http://www.araelium.com/dmgcanvas/) for my current Mac installer.

Technically yes. But the install for most Mac applications is simply to drag

usually the Applications folder but my program can run from a USB drive, the

I've found that most Windows users not only expect to use an installer they are
lost without one. The blank stares you get from a Windows user when you say,
Just copy the file and open it are precious.
