If you're burning it to a DVD, insert your DVD, select the disk image in the sidebar, and hit the 'Burn' button. Open up Disk Utility and drag the DMG file into the left-hand sidebar. Navigate to Contents > SharedSupport and look for a file called 'InstallESD.dmg'. Right-click on the installer and hit 'Show Package Contents'. The installer should show up in your Applications folder. On a Macĭownload Lion from the Mac App Store.
