I have a mac (10.4.11) on which .pkg files are not associated with the mac os installer application. &nbsp;So if you click a .pkg file it cannot run automatically.<br />
<br />
I have tried to set a new association in the &quot;info&quot; window for the .pkg file. &nbsp;I can browse but I cannot find any installer application.<br />
<br />
This is automatically set in other machines I have seen.<br />
<br />
So I need to know how to set this file association.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Mac OS X is the desktop operating system from Apple Inc., found on Macintosh computers. OS X consists of a Mach/BSD-based kernel, operating system interfaces primarily based on FreeBSD and additional frameworks (written in C, C++ and Objective-C providing user interface and application-level services.

Mac OS X

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.
