I want to install Nikon's ViewNX-i on macOS Mojave 10.14.6 to convert photos from NEF to JPEG. I followed the installation steps here but cannot see the app: nothing is listed as Nikon or ViewNX in the two application folders (/Applications and /Applications). Normally the location would be /Applications/Nikon Software but I don't have that. The last modified file in those folders is not from today. I tried three times and the installer says
Originally I installed some older versions of Nikon programs from I think was a Suite. The programs installed from a single installer that installed iirc 7 applications, however it didn't install Capture NX-D but a 30 day trail-ware of iirc NX-2. (these were all uninstalled and I used regsweeper2 to clean out the registry)

Someone sent me a zip file of an older Nikon software package with one installer and software versions designed for earlier versions of Windows such as Vista. The installer went online and searched for software to install and ended up installing what I found out later to be trial-ware.
So I ran the software suite installer a second time which has a selection for custom install and it had no problem installing View NX and Nikon Transfer along with some other apps it downloaded from the Internet.
eyestein aarseth is right, of course...
I use an old Dell Inspiron 630M and for hdd space reasons, uninstalled NX2 from the hdd and reinstalled it on an external 320gig drive. It works just fine, but there's still stuff* on the Dell's hdd that I didn't ask the installer to put there.
* not being a pc geek, I won't attempt to describe what this "stuff" is. I do know enough not to mess with dll files though :-)
