// Name: Install app from dmg in Downloads

/// Implementation notes:
/// - dmg file name can be different from mounted volume name, e.g. UIBrowser302.dmg -> /Volumes/UI Browser 3.0.2.0
/// - dmg might contain License agreement that needs to be accepted, e.g. UIBrowser302.dmg
/// - dmg might contain other files than just the app, e.g. Extras folder and README.rtf, see UIBrowser302.dmg
