Of course if you go with the OP's idea - then its almost like an installer pkg, but in a D&D install method.

It's a double-edged sword anyway. DnD installs are popular with Mac and NeXT veterans who are used to them, but they tend to confuse newbies and Windows switchers.

So you go with whatever makes your users most comfortable...
