The thing is that Zoom isn't installing the package either! If you look at the list of installed pkgs after installing Zoom there is no Zoom package.
They are using a .pkg only for the side effect of running a pre installation script that simply copies Zoom.app in the /Application directory. That is to a software develper garbage, why doing so, when all other macOS application require the user a single drag and drop?
Sure, that is probably not malware, but is a very poor practice, gives the user a bad experience, for no reason. These are the things that let's you wonder if the installation is managed in such a poor way how is the rest of the infrastructure.
- lonelappde 7y agoWhy are they doing that? How is it easier than just having the app self install?
