So in the "You mean you can install stuff remotely" hall of stupid fuckers, we admit our newest entrant!
onOne Software, makers of Genuine Fractals 5 decided not to test their installer with Apple Remote Desktop at the login screen. Because in onOne's world, all installs are done with physical media by the artist.
Wrong.
So for those of you dealing with these idiots, just remember that an unhacked Genuine Fractals 5 installer will create a root Finder session on your machine. Do make sure to send them your love.
To fix, just comment out the osascript section at the end of the postflight script in the installer bundle.
