Are you sure you honestly want to do this? It's /very/ non-

only one of them goes on to auto-launch the .pkg in the Installer.
One of the images contains only the .pkg file. The other image
contains
other files in addition to the .pkg file. Other than that, I can
see no
significant difference.
Is the presence of the other files preventing the auto-launch of the
Installer? If so, is there a way to work around that?
