Currently there are two major classes of application installers that
are known not to work with Executor.  Installers based on Apple's
Installer break, and installers based on Bill Goodman's "Smaller
Installer" also do not work.  An example of the former is Microsoft
Word 5's installer, an example of the latter is Maelstrom 1.4.

The exact reasons these installers is not known.  We have made some
progress with "Smaller Installer" based installers and hope to have
them running by the time 2.0 ships; we are less sure about Installers
based on Apple's installer.

The particular error message that Maelstrom's new installer produces
is misleading; there is nothing you as a user can to to make the
installer work -- it will require fixes made to Executor.
