No problem. Excerpts from http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/support.html --- You don't need to be a list member to post a message. --- > and do not know where the archives are. Apologies for the likely repeat.

The How to Install > page on the XMLMind web site is completely blank. You need to click "Next" in this page: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/install.html until you reach the appropriate section. This being said, there is currently no section about installing XMLmind on the Mac, because we naively thought that this was not needed. We'll try to improve this part of the documentation for the next release: [1] Do not pretend that the .dmg is an automated installer. [2] Add install instructions for the Mac. [3] Better organize the "Install" chapter. > > What I have done is drag XML from inside that folder to my Applications > folder. You guessed it right. Unlike what happens on Windows (where there is a Registry), on the Mac, most so-called automated installers simply spare you the effort of dragging the contents of the .dmg to your "Applications" folder. > With than I can run XMLMind but the folder contains other > sub-folders such as doc and demos. What am I supposed to do with those? The names of the sub-folders speak by themselves: doc/ contains a local copy of this documentation: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/documentation.shtml demos/ contains a number of XML files you could open with XMLmind to see what can be done with our XML editor. Other than that, you can simply ignore these folders. You can even delete them if they bother you. The only important folder is called "XMLEditor" (in fact, application folder "XMLEditor.app", if you have configured the Finder to see file extensions) --- PS: When you'll want to uninstall XMLmind XML Editor, simply delete its folder (i.e. the xxe-perso-5_1_1/ folder that you have dragged to your "Applications" folder). -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
