I have this Mac application that consists of 2 files:

  1. firstFile.tst
  2. secondFile

I would like to put them in:

  1. ~/Library/Audio/MyProg/
  2. ~/Library/Application Support/MyProg/

I would also like the installer to look like them fancy DMG installers (like Skype’s).
Now, I am a newbie when it comes to Mac but I am willing to learn whatever it takes.

I know the dmg installers are actually drags and drops; does that mean that if my application doesn’t consist of a real application (it is a plug in – there’s no shortcut to put in the Applications folder) then I can’t do it?

I was thinking about calling the icon on the left MyProg and the icon on the right COMP_NAME and that dragging MyProg to COMP_NAME simply put the 2 files I described in the places I described for them.

Is there’s any way to achieve this or should I just go with PackageMaker and drop the fancy dmg idea (I really like the fancy installers)?

Thanks.

    I’ve seen several plugins like this that use PackageMaker, but wrap the package in a .dmg (that is, you mount the .dmg and all it has on it is a .pkg file).
