Installation on Macs is much more easier than on Win computers:
No 'wizard' needed and no problem, AFAIK, with permissions to copy a  
bundle into applications folder.
A Mac user expects that you open the applications folder on the  
desktop when finished or if some check boxes have been checked in an  
intermediate window, launch the app and/or open a Read Me file.
He expects too to be able to drag and drop your application by  
himself into his own applications folder.
In order to do this, you can create a disk image the window of it  
just says: "Drag this icon to your applications folder".
But if you have not any Mac on hand, it will be uneasy for you to set  
up such a window in the Mac partition of your DVD.

Actually, Mac users are considered as being reached adulthood ;-)

Best regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.
