The way I do it is to create a disk image first, copy all the components to that image and then lay out all of the stuff - installer package, documentation folders, background image, icon size, position, etc. and then eject the disk image. When remounted, you should be all set, including the .DS_Store which makes the magic happen. Thanks for this hint. I tried it and it works somewhat better than what I had before. Now some of the layout options are honored whan mounting the disk image. The window size and the fact that I want icon view are ignored though. I get a window without sidebar or toolbar in list view (my default) at the size of another open Finder window (much too large for the installer). I want a small(er) window without any tool- ar sidebar in icon view. BTW: I'm creating all of this from a shell script which calls an AppleScript to set the Finder options. PKGNAME="MYPACKAGE" cd ... # my base directory hdiutil create -ov -format UDRW -srcfolder "." -volname "$PKGNAME" - attach "../${PKGNAME}_rw.dmg" osascript "../../../srcroot/Tools/SetFinderWindow_${PKGNAME}_DI.scpt" hdiutil detach "/Volumes/$PKGNAME" hdiutil convert "../${PKGNAME}_rw.dmg" -ov -format UDCO -o "../ $PKGNAME.dmg" The AppleScript creates a new Finder window, sets its target to the mounted disk image volume then tells it to set a number of attributes of the window: tell application "Finder" set f to disk "MYPACKAGE" set w to make new Finder window tell w set target to f set current view to icon view set statusbar visible to false set sidebar width to 0 set toolbar visible to false set position to {100, 100} set bounds to {100, 100, 100 + 290, 100 + 105} end tell -- Now position the items on the volume at specific positions. -- - Code ommitted because it's probably irrelevant to my question.
