Ben,

That's an odd request, because doesn't it make more sense to install to /Applications if the app is running from /Volumes/MyDMG rather than from ~/Downloads? :-) Indeed, one of the reasons to switch from dmg to zip distribution is that the app disappears when the dmg is unmounted.

Hi all:

I'm wanting to move away from DMGs to ZIP delivery. As part of this move I'd like to have my app, SousChef, prompt the user on first run to move itself to /Applications (or ~/Applications as appropriate). In a short search I can't find any code examples hanging about to do something like this. Would anyone mind sharing ideas/code on how to do this?

Thanks,
->Ben
