Generally, Cocoa developers do not write installers, but instead use
PackageMaker to install our apps for us. If it's not software you're
installing then, well, I don't know what to tell you. But you still can't
stop the user from quitting your app. If they really want to, they can quit
it from the Dock in 2 ways (Quit or Force Quit).
The recommended first step is to read the Human Interface Guidelines on what
an app should and should not do. If you read and follow the HIG, your users
will like you a lot better.
