Are you on PC or Mac?
.dmg files are disk image files only compatible with Mac OSX systems.0 -
As mentioned a .dmg file is a Mac disc image used for software distribution to the Mac, much as .zip files are used to distribute Windows software. If you are getting the .dmg it could be you are selecting the wrong OS when you want to download software.0

Personally, I'd be more concerned that you're trying to open a file when you don't know what it is.Dave. :wave:0
