I'm pretty new to the system, this is really great platform for building windows apps for a web developer.

I need to know what is best way to generate the binaries and writing enterprise grade application installation steps while installing any new application created out from the node-webkit.

Currently i was going through the strongloop begining steps, that helped me till the standalone portable package that too only in *.nw format in mac, but actually the binaries should be app.dmg, please kind me how to create the native dmg executables

take a look at https://npmjs.org/package/grunt-node-webkit-builder 

you need to install node and grunt on your computer, then it will automatically build the app for mac and the exe for windows.

Not sure if that's what you are asking for...

Since a *.dmg is just some kind of an installer for *.app files, you may just take the generated *.app file by the grunt tool mentioned, as the user just has to drag'n'drop it, and/or doubleclick this single file. At least for OSX, for windows you have to ship some additional DLLs.
