[Sparkle] Recommended Approach

Hello All,

I have an application that must run as a trusted process.  This  
requires that
all of my 3rd-party frameworks get accessed via absolute paths.   
Because of this,
I can not have a simple drag-and-drop installer.  I must use a package  
installer.

Currently, to use Sparkle, I have a package installer that installs  
Sparkle into
/Library/Frameworks.  I also place my package into a dmg for  
distribution.

Is this the best approach?  My concern is that the package installer  
will continue to
display the license agreement, even on updates.  This seems incorrect.

I thought about creating two distros, a "new" distro that uses the  
package, and an upgrade
distro that is available via the appcast and does not upgrade the 3rd- 
party tools.

Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Thanks

Brian
