Scott, I think at some point Livecode applications become so *complex* that an installer is needed. I don't think users are all that averse to restarting their computers after software is installed, especially Audio based software. It's very common to have to restart even OS X computers after a major change has been made to an audio codec. I'm just trying to encourage you to consider this as an option, otherwise you may waste a lot of time pursuing undomesticated waterfowl.
