Hi,

It all depends on the app you're installing.  In the case of these kinds of 
apps that you drag or copy to the Applications folder, all that usually needs 
done is opening the app after the copy.  So, once you've placed the app in your 
Applications folder, select it from within that folder and press cmd-o to open 
it.  If anything needs installed elsewhere, the app will do it automatically 
for you.  There are some situations where it may ask you for license info or 
some other things but in many cases, it just installs in the background.  The 
app actually checks upon each startup whether it's the first time it's been 
opened and/or if certain things have been done, thus it won't need to run the 
installation part of things again.

Make sure that you close the .dmg file and eject it so that you don't attempt 
to run the app from that disk image.  Apps behave much better when they are 
running from the Applications folder.

HTH.

Later...
