To that end wouldn't having a "player" installer, ala Acrobar Reader, that could be downloaded from the MC site be a simple thing? And non-problematic in terms of security? Envision something like the existing installers for the Starter kits, sans the home stack and any other files... i.e. the installers just install the engine and set the doc/app binding for the platform. That's all. I suppose creating something like that is trivial for you people, but not if you don't know how! i.e. looking for an easy solution where we just tell people "get your Metacard engine here" and 'get my stacks here." Of course we would serve the player/installers from our own sites so that we don't raise a bandwidth issue for Scott and Kevin.

It would be relatively simple to create a stack which deleted all the files
in the Windows folder using a simple mouseOver of an image on a web page --
without the user never knowing. So...things like certificates and possible a
'sandbox' would need to be implemented. I've thought about this a bit and
decided it might be best for a 3rd party to consider implementing, in this
way there's less damage to MC/RR reputation in case something goes 'awry.'
