The following code will test if you are running from the DMG:

NSString * volName = @"Mother";
NSString * appName = @"MyApp.app";

if ([[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath] isEqualTo: [ NSString
stringWithFormat:@"/Volumes/%@/%@",volName,appName]) {

//Here you can show an alert telling the user to to copy the app to
the applications folder


}

If a disk image it mounted a second time (can happen in a few ways) it won't be at /Volumes/Mother/... but at /Volumes/Mounter 1/... Also you can mount disk images in location other then under /Volumes/...

If you really want to check this you should utilize
DiskImages.framework (IIRC) or possibly use "hdutil info -plist" and
look for your disk image and its current mount location. Then compare
that to your bundles location.

Unfortunately, the DiskImages framework is private (no headers)
Getting the output of hdiutil is a little awkward since the NSDictionary
class has no method to initialize from a pipe.
