I think you're onto it.

I ran a couple of quick tests and found that for Mac an admin can set 
permission on a folder inside of Applications to allow non-admin writes.

On Win if you create a folder in:

  /Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/

...and turn off Read Only, the folder can be written by other users.

I just need to work out the command lines for these and add that to the 
custom installer and it should all be good.

Thanks for the input -
