Try tossing out the Disk Copy prefs in your prefs folder. Also, see if it will launch OK if you just double-click the app, in which case you might be trying to open a corrupted DMG file.

Don't listen to the last guy. I troubleshot the
problem on my machine with Apple support. They
suggested using Repair Privileges Utility at the
Apple Support website (if you have 10.1.5),
upgrading to Jaguar or doing a whole new
reinstall/clean. You would save yourself a lot of
time and effort to do the ladder. Also, you might
want to try to open the .dmg file in OS9 and then
restarting in 10. That way you could save the .pkg
separately and not have to worry about .dmg or
.img. This of course is a temporary solution.
Hope this helps.

Rots of ruck opening a DMG file in OS 9.

"I troubleshot the problem on my machine with Apple support."

No, you called Apple support because you had no friggin clue and they told you to try a few things that might be the problem. Just because their order of things to try differs from mine doesn't mean either I or Apple is wrong. It just means we have different perspectives. I suggest you think about that.

I got really excited for a second there.
*Open a dmg in OS9!* Cripes, if I could
do that, what a different desktop I would
have today. That ability is what I'm
reading this board looking for. I'm sure
there are warez, they just aren't herez.

There's no possible way to open a DMG in OS 9, period.
