Default MAC OS Install Problem: I do not get a shortcut

Ok so I've dowloaded the basic version of Limewire and have the .dmg file on my desktop. When I double click on the icon it takes me through the install process and tells me it's been sucessfully installed. The problem is that I do not get a shortcut other than the .dmg file so that when I should (I think) be cennecting to Limewire I get taken through the install process again and there seems no obvious thing that I'm doing wrong.

Any ideas much appreciated....

Shortcuts on the mac are called aliases. And are much more reliable than window's shortcuts.
You can go to menu bar in finder, select Go menu > Applications & then find LW. Open the program, then click on its icon in the dock. Select Keep in Dock. Else, before opening it, right-click or control-click & choose make alias of. Then move alias to desktop.
