It's not wierd at all. On my Mac, most of the installers will quit all
running applications (including the FINDER) before they begin to install.
This is true with some versions of Apple Installers and all of the Vice
Installers. Somehow any program that will try to quit all other programs
will not work.

BTW If you wondering what the Finder is... "This file, along with the
System file, provides the information your Macintosh needs to operate."
from Apple's balloon help It's what the Browser tries to imitate.
MS-DOSish, it's like the COMMAND.COM and the System is like the MSDOS.SYS
and IO.SYS.
