If so, then why does the VStudio installer put VComponents here:
    /usr/local/lib/ 
    
In your instructions for people having problems installing VStudio, you tell them to trash those files.  Why?  If VStudio is a standalone app, why trash those files?

Yes, this I understand and I do deploy my RB apps in this way.  But I must have a major misunderstanding because I don't see that VStudio is deployed in the same manner.  If it was, why would I need the installer package in the first place.  I should be able to copy the VStudio app to the Applications folder and not have to run an installer.
