I need to mount a
.dmg
file on windows 7. These are the disk image container files as are commonly used with Apple's OSX.Dmg reader free download - DMG, DMG, DMG Extractor, and many more programs. Best Video Software for the Mac How To Run MacOS High Sierra or Another OS on Your Mac Best Graphic Design Software. I can not install Adobe ReaderXI on my Mac OS 10.7.5, with Safari browser. The file seems to download successfully but when I click on 'Install Adobe Reader' I get a message 'connection failed'.
What applications/utilities will do this? I know Daemon tools won't.

- Choose one of our plans and have the DMG Extractor up and running in only minutes. Download the free edition to get the hang of things and then upgrade as needed. Extract Windows compatible files and data from DMG Mac OS X archives.
- I updated my /usr/bin/xcrun file on my computer running on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 by mistake. Can anybody send me the shell script code or any link where I can find this? FYI, I have Xcode (4.6) also installed on my system. If anybody body using MAC OSX 10.7.5 can send the shell script code for this file, it will be greatly appreciated.
- For all older versions of Adobe Reader download the 11.0.10 version from. Mac OS 10.8.5 – released August 13, 2015. Double click the VirtualBox-5.2.22-126460-OSX.dmg file in your Downloads folder then double click the Virtual Box installer icon to install the new version.

Convert the dmg file to an ISO format, then mount the iso with the same software that converted it.
Or convert it to iso on a MAC PC
dmg to iso
hdiutil convert /path/imagefile.dmg -format UDTO -o /path/convertedimage.iso
Adobe Reader For Mac
iso to dmg
hdiutil convert /path/imagefile.iso -format UDRW -o /path/convertedimage.dmg

According to the Wikipedia page on DMGs:
In Windows, most dmg images can be opened using several other programs such as Acute Systems TransMac, HFSExplorer, 7-Zip, UltraISO or IsoBuster. MacDrive[9] can also mount simple dmg files as drives under windows, but not sparse disk or encrypted dmgs.
I suggest you try 7-Zip as you can use it for free and it's pretty solid software.
For any Linux users wondering about this, the same Wikipedia page states:
In Linux and possibly other Unix flavors, most .dmg files can be burned to CD/DVD using the program cdrecord or directly mounted to a mountpoint (e.g. mount -o loop,ro -t hfsplus imagefile.dmg /mnt/mountpoint).
PowerISO is a proprietary, cross platform, Freeware CLI tool that runs on Linux; it can convert most proprietary image formats to ISO, and newer versions support .dmg.

HFSExplorer is the only prg I know of that will open a password protected MAC DMG on WindowsXP (or in Win7 with Windows XP Mode installed - doesn't work under straight Win7).

To mount/manipulate the DMG without conversion, you could use HFSExplorer. It comes as freeware, and has a decent set of options and features. Since your working on Windows 7, 7-Zip is the only other option I see for your situation. Either way, however, it appears as though you would have to perform some form of conversion since you're using Windows to access the dmg disk image archive. Then, you could use a preferred program of your choice to mount the new, workable disk image. I would also suggest avoiding TransMac unless you're willing to invest in a paid option. The closest I've come to doing what you're asking about involved the use of a third-party fs driver from Paragon solutions, but it only appears to work with universal disk images like the ISO.
With that said, I am sorry to say that some form of conversion may be required to get the image mounted successfully.

Altap Salamander, IMHO the best file manager, also can dive into .dmg files and extract files.

What I do to mount DMG:
- Convert DMG to ISO format using AnyToISO app (comes as free Lite version, Pro version also available)
- The resulting ISO (HFS+ formatted) can be easily mounted to Vmware/VirtualBox machine if it's running OS X. You can also burn this image under Windows.
Alternatively you can simply extract DMG with this tool. Works on Mac and Windows
