Hi,

Should not the app be installed in a particular location so that it starts when the user logs in?

You can add any app, located at any location (nearly at any) to the Startup Items of a user and the app gets started. No need to be in a special place for that. Just has to be available at user login time.



And, does this not imply that the user should not have the option of specifying where the app is installed.

The user should have free choice - let it be /Applications or ~/ Applications for example. Since nothing is implied from the first step, no problem.



And, if there is a particular location to be installed so that the app runs at login are there not permission issues?

The user can not install the app to locations where he doesn't have write access to or where he can't get temporary write access.


What have you looked into? Your current questions are rather vague and not Cocoa related so far.
