Neil -
Thank you! It worked when I dragged the Chrome icon into the Applications folder. If you have the time, I have some questions since this is my first Apple computer (thanks to client who gave me his 2009 iMac 27" -- I'm software/database developer from the other world). I do run a Linux server for testing my web apps, so I may have some understanding conceptually of what OS X does, but little vocabulary.
I understand that double-clicking the DMG file mounts it as a virtual disk, however I'm not sure what the window is called that is created by the double-clicking. Is that a pointer (alias) to the installer in the mounted virtual disk?
