This discussion is veering off into installer-dev territory, but if
your app needs an installation script (that is, it can't be installed
with a simple drag-install), and I need to deploy it to my
workstations, I will seriously consider not buying your application if
I cannot drop a .pkg into Remote Desktop or System Image Utility,
opening it in PackageMaker along the way to make whatever tweaks I
want or need.
I spent far too many hours moving from machine to machine installing
Adobe products that I actively lobbied against upgrading.
