Tip: Using an authenticated installer allows the installer to be run as the Root user. OS X Choose Folder panels have aliases to such locations as Desktop or Home. When an end user selects these from a native OS X dialog box, the locations are set to the Root user's Desktop or Home. Consequently, an end user may not be able to access these files installed to these locations. In such cases, consider parsing the return paths using the Match Regular Expression Rule and alerting end users to this special case.
