Installing .exe

[someone28624]

I've tried to install a few programs for mac- namely, QuickTime 8 and Quinn. When I download it, it says I'm downloading a .dmg, but when it's finished, it says it's an .exe and tried to open in quicktime. Just renaming the file as a .dmg doesn't work.

Care to share the links?

First, QT 8 doesn't exist. Chances are that they are windows virii. You aren't getting them from shady sources are you???

I must mean quicktime7 then. That one was off the Apple site when I was trying to watch mac vs. pc ads.

The Quinn link is here: http://www.simonhaertel.de/quinn

I figured it out anyways- you have to do it in Safari for it to mount properly.

What were you trying to download it with?

What were you trying to download it with?

Firefox.

That's weird. I dont use Firefox though - maybe someone who does can weigh in on why it isn't downloading dmgs correctly.
