    first make sure you install 7zip, i.e. p7zip and p7zip-full

    then rename the x.dmg file to x.dmg.7z and open it
    then extract the real y.dmg from the folder inside (you'll have to do a bit of searching)... that's the actual y.dmg you can burn/mount

    hope this helps :)

      first open the folder in command prompt where you have extract dmg2img, and then run the required command.

      In my case these parameters are as follow:
      dmg2img software Location: C:\mac
      DMG image Location: C:\mac\mac.dmg
      Destination iso : C:\mac\mac7.iso
