Folks;
Thanks for the thoughts on this matter!
I think Matt raises an great point about hijacking on subsequent launches.
Personally I'm mistrustful of installers..
why does a simple application need to go mucking around on my system?
why is this application different than all the other 'drag-n-drop'
applications?
I think it creates another barrier to installation - another excuse for
the customer to bail...
And it is yet more code to maintain -- for what benefit?
Anyway wouldn't an installer have to pass the 'Quarantine' dialog also?
