Scott,
I don't know about running an app from a DMG but I regularly use them for data I read AND write. So it should work for your purposes.

Hi List:

Is it reasonable to have users run an app from a DMG volume on OS X, as
opposed to copying the app to their drive?

I have a colleague who wants to distribute an app in an easily launched compressed format. On Windows one can create a self-expanding ZIP that, when double-clicked, automatically decompresses and launches the contained EXE. I'm wondering if a DMG file could serve the same purpose on OS X. I assume the DMG volume is not writable, but I don't think it matters in this
case since the files are a bunch of media (Flash movies, PDF, etc).

Thanks for any advice here.
