Hi,
the situation you're talking about is exactly for the package
installer. The drag&drop solution is for all-in-one applications.

Installers are a bad heritage from earlier systems which didn't have
disk images, bundles and caching launch services!
Preferably you should ship your application on a disk image and allow
the user to drag the application to where ever he wants it (including
the trashcan if he no longer wishes to use it).
While installing using a dragable application icon is clearly
preferable, is there an efficient alternative for the case where you
want to provide frameworks that are going to be used by multiple
applications in a suite? Including the frameworks inside each
application leads to bloat since they get duplicated and also does not
allow the OS to do any resource optimisation when the same framework
is being used by more than one application. I am inclined to use a
package installer in this case but I'd be interested to hear if anyone
has got a better plan.
Cheers,
Nicko
