Hi, Open the disk image file and go down and look for either the .app file or the package installer. If it's an .app file, copy it to your apps folder, then run it.
If it's a package installer, open that and it'll run you through the installation. hth, Cait On Feb 7, 2014, at 2:39 AM, Kevin Gibbs <kevj...@gmail.com> wrote: > tim, > > I found an article that explained the reason for my inability to install > Airport Utility 5.6.
