Hi Sean, Thanks for the link,
After reading the link below, I think I will write a little script to delete the symlinks and see if the install works, if not then I will write another script to create them. Alternatively after reading your second paragraph it may be better to rename the installation to /Applications/CMake.app and manually create the symlinks. The for future installations all I would need to do is to do the installation but DO NOT create the symlinks then rename the installation to CMake.app. I generally don't keep side by side versions of CMake. With respect to PATH, I have noticed that in some cases the PATH is ignored in Macs but /usr/local/bin is not, hence the need for symlinks. Thanks for the help.
