Security Note:
The Installer's JavaScript environment is a "Sandbox" that prevents
your package from actually modifying the computer's hard disks until
the user clicks "Install." (Same goes for IFRequirements.) If your
javascript runs external code, or your installer script relies on
InstallationCheck and VolumeCheck to decide stuff, the user will see
the "This installer must run code" warning.
Is the need to effectively sandbox the packages' code the reasoning
behind JavaScript's selection as the language of choice for this
process?
