Does your app actually require an installer? If so, use Apple's built- in installer application; don't roll your own with AppleScript. If an installer is not really needed, just provide the application on its own inside the DMG file. Users can drag and drop it to their preferred destination.

Hi,

Thanks for this. I have a little more information in the problem:

The user downloads a ,dmg file, this image contains (among others) the following files:

"Install.app" -- Installation AppleScript.
"Cleanup.app" -- AppleScript that is run after the installation has completed, (ejects the image etc.)
"RealApp.app" -- The Application that is being Installed.


When the user attempts to mount the Image file, the OS displays the "File downloaded from Internet" dialog, this is ok, however, after that, when the user launches "Install.app" a similar dialog appears, the same goes for "Cleanup.app" and for "RealApp.app", so we get 4 dialogs in total. So my question now is:

Can I disable all but the warning when the disk image is opened?

Thanks a lot
All the Best
Dave

hi Dave,
that's not Safari unique feature. That's system-wide component.
In your Xcode documentation window type "file quarantine" or navigate to Guides>Security>Security Overview>Security Services #File Quarantine

Hi All,

I have an application that is downloaded from the web by Safari. When the user double-clicks on the .dmg file to open the a Warning Dialog is displayed. My question is, is there anyway of stopping the dialog from appearing? My boss doesn't like it and wants me to look into ways of getting rid of it, but I'm not sure where to start!

Thanks in Advance, All the Best Dave
Dave
