  Or you could just internet-enable your disk image or use a ZIP file 
and avoid the problem altogether. If your app extracts into an 
application file in the downloads folder or on the desktop, users 
won't have a problem starting it.

  It's only those who insist on disk images just because Apple used to 
recommend them on 10.0 because they had no other non-lossy compression 
format in the OS back then whose users have problems with this.
