It is even suggested that I launch the app, and close the disk image and trash it for the user once the install is complete.

Me, being a savvy user, just cringes, like most of you, when I hear this, but the problems these users have are real ones and how to make those users lives easier is the problem to solve.


Or you could just internet-enable your disk image or use a ZIP file and avoid the problem altogether. If your app extracts into an application file in the downloads folder or on the desktop, users won't have a problem starting it.

It's only those who insist on disk images just because Apple used to recommend them on 10.0 because they had no other non-lossy compression format in the OS back then whose users have problems with this.
