In practice, I think there are some exceptions to this. Some software doesn't 
have a clear line between installing and running, from the user's perspective. 
Consider for example, multimedia codecs, link handlers, device drivers, plugins 
for other apps. It's not realistic to expect the user to examine the metadata 
of every image or video on every web page to make sure a particular codec won't 
run.
