Not really. This is the way other applications work that allow you to install by drag and drop and require system components. For instance, Microsoft Office 2004 is a drag install, and the first time you run it, it installs Office fonts.

many disk blocks TIMES the number of users. That's right, instead of letting the administrator install what's needed ONCE, it installs everything for every user.
