I would have put it inside a bundle, and in this case, inside the
resources directory of the application bundle. I don't think the
Finder would look for it there. But I would have thought even that
would be overkill. I guess the challenge is that you still want an
actual application (so that Applescript can find it). But if it's
inside your "setup" app bundle, it should be "invisible" to the Finder
and Launch Services. No? A few tests should suffice to determine
anyway.
Anyway, I thought apps only got auto-opened if they had document
associations. Isn't it enough just to ensure it doesn't have any
viewer/editor status entries in the plist?
