I want to distribute a structurally simple RR-developed application to Mac OSX users (it's the standalone itself and a couple of sample folders). In testing, all I've done is to copy the app (which we all know is really a folder) to somewhere convenient on the user's hard disk. The user then double-clicks and that's it. Is there anything wrong with this strategy? Why do people have installers and .dmg files if so? I sense that one reason might be that the machine potentially has many users, all but one of whom won't have administrator privileges - as I'm not in this situation myself, I don't really know.

I want the simplest possible strategy for distribution. Any advice will be gratefully received, as ever.
