No, not Apple! I mean Flip4Mac's QuickTime component installer is now doing the right thing via Apple Remote Desktop. I ran a test install of the Flip4Mac 2.1.1.65 beta, specifically to test their last bullet in the change notes:

Improved support for installation using Apple Remote Desktop

You know what I saw when running the installer against a machine at the login window via Apple Remote Desktop?

Nothing No more Finder windows popping to tell me all about how Flip4Mac is teh h0ttz0r!

Good job guys, and from every sysadmin who had to deal with the problems of your earlier installers, thank you.

Parallels does the same shit with opening a finder window. Causes the same problem at a login window.

I've contacted them at least 5 times about it and never even got a response.

Although it's easy enough to fix before deploying, delete the line: open file:///Applications/Parallels
from the postflight script.
