For the SDK the steps are to:
- unzip the SDK
- mark the SDK read only but be sure to not run the app before that. I'm not 
sure if this is still required, but this was because the fwk would find file 
there and decide to use them btu would never be able to switch to the 
configuration from the shared install.
- run. This will create a configuration in the user home director.

Note that because some update manager code never got ported to p2, you will 
have to have update configurator be around for the user specific configuration 
to be created.
