What's that?
So, in this case, copying to the ~/Library/ folder is less
desirable and according a specific administrator customer, a
security risk
Then I suggest, the administrator moves it to the place he want's it
to be ... (?)
I could also use an installer. But that isn't the Macintosh way.
Looking at Apple's apps, which almost all of them require installers,
I guess it is. At least for apps that need to install (additional)
files in system folders like /Applications or /Library.
There seem be essentially two options:
Either your app gets installed in a user's folder; then it won't be a
problem to put additional files in user space, too. No added security
risk here, since malicious code could attack the app itself, anyway.
Or the app is to be installed in /Applications, which requires admin
privileges and seems to make an installer the most logical option.
Of course, your situation may be different enough to justify a
special approach; but IMHO that's really an exception then.
