Abstract
A computing device can manage installation of an application program using an agent registered with an operating system. The agent can receive a notification in response to a user request to mount a disk image. The disk image can include the application program. The agent can generate metadata associated with the disk image. An action to take can be determined based on the metadata. The application program can be installed using privileges of the agent without changing privileges of an account for the current user.
