With respect to all posters, this is silly. If the answer to "How do we make 
applications available to all users" is, "You can't do that!", then something 
is broke and it needs fixing. Nothing says "cheesy app from inexperienced 
programmers made with sub-par development tools" like apps that have no 
universal install capability. I am not saying anyone qualifies, but that is 
what it will seem like to anyone you try to sell your applications to.
