"Linux or Windows?" Try again! That's an error message from the Mac OS X patcher.

I had the same problem originally. Here's the fix:
Before running iPatch, it is necessary to Command-I on the installed dominions2 application and set it to read/write.

Regarding mods, you have to create the Mods folder manually within your personal "dominions2" folder in your home directory (*not* the dominions2 application bundle) and then put the mods there. Incidentally, mods are usually packaged in a folder. You need to put the *contents* of the mod's folder into your "mods" directory, not the mod's folder itself.

Good luck!
