hstupno Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Hey There, I purchased the Publisher app off of the Serif website back in July of 2019 and it has yet to properly install in my Applications folder on my iMac. I drag and drop the App into my Applications folder, but it only creates an alias. So, each time I open the alias, it has to reinstall. Is there another way to "install" the app so it's actually on my hard drive? For the record, I have been a long-time computer user and have never seen this happen before with a purchased application. So, it's odd to me too. I can USE the app off of the alias, but I always have to keep the .dmg file open in order to continue to use it each time I open it. If that makes sense. Thank you, Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hstupno Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 Oh, dear lord. Yes, that was it. I've been dragging it to the applications folder outside that window on my computer instead of inside that window. Blond moment. Worked perfectly. Color me stupid. Thank you!
