Thank you, macOS is extremely complicated - without your help here I could not manage to create a proper installer for our app! GREAT WORK!

What he showed wouldn't work because the image is on his local computer. What he should've done is moved the background image into a folder (say, "background") on the .dmg image itself. Then to hide it you will need to prepend the "background" folder name with a dot. Finder won't let you do it. So use terminal:

mv

Hi. Thank you very much for this tutorial, because I was looking for this type of video tutorial and nowhere could I find an explanation on how to make my own background for the installation window. Everyone was just talking about how to create this ".dmg" file, not discussing the background thread. You are great :)

I am a beginner when it comes to MacOS, but I do not have such problems in the Windows system because I know what and how. Thank you again for this tutorial and I invite you to visit me too. Regards.

WOW. its unbelievable that this is so easy. Thanks for the upload. Do you think this is sufficient to distribute production ready mac apps? Why do people use package installers

Could you please remake this with a dark mode option? It's needed for individuals with low vision or vision impairment to be able to see this. If you've posted the remake, please drop the link. Thank you very much!

The dmg file is not an installer, it is a file for burning systems to DVD or USB like iso, but only for Mac computers, I don't know exactly how this file was turned into an installer, Even if, it's not already installed, it's like a zip file, and all you have to do is drag the application (it is only an exutable) and put it in the applications folder.
