I realize that ideally, it's nice to have the user drag over an app from the img to wherever they like, but in situations where you have a suite of apps, this doesn't work as well. Our situation is that we need to copy a folder to the user's Application Support folder I think the official party line is that in cases like this, you should place the support files inside your application's bundle and copy them to the required location the first time the application is run (if they are not already there). This way, you still have a single drag install. And if the user accidentally deletes the support files, or drags the application to another machine on the network and launches it there, it will still work, because your app will again copy the support files to the appropriate location. Of course, Application Support is only writable by admins, so you do need to take that into account. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
