In an attempt to deploy the ParaView DMG using Munki, I ran into the issue that 
the DMG is storing paraview.app with 700 permissions.  This causes the 
installation via Munki to fail.

As a workaround, I converted the DMG to read-write, mounted it, ran:

chmod -R go+rX paraview.app
mv paraview.app ParaView.app

I also had to add the version information (4.4.0) to the 
CFBundleShortVersionString variable inside of the Info.plist.

I then converted it back to a read-only DMG.  This then allows the installation 
via Munki to complete successfully.

I would like to eventually automate downloading updates of your DMG through 
Autopkg, but these extra steps would be unnecessary should the DMG have the 
proper settings on the enclosed ParaView.app in the first place.  Could this 
please be addressed in future builds?

Thanks,
Charles Gruener
