Hello, I hope you won't mind me jumping in here. First of all, it isn't necessary to move the DMG file be fore opening it. When you open it, a new folder will be created or a new file in the current folder might be created. In either case do the following. If an application file has been presented, just copy it to the Applications Folder and Eject the DMG file with Command E. If an installation package is presented, just open the package and follow the installation prompts. Sometimes when a DMG has been opened you might find several items. For example, an installation package or application file. Along with these items you might find a Readme file or other files of interest. Perhaps, for example, a file like a manual in PDF form that can be read with Preview. This is just it in a nutshell. Again, hope you didn't mind me jumping in on this topic.
