I don't think it installs it I think it just calls the resource from the package.

NVM I decided to inspect the package with `pkgutil`

Here's the offending code

```################################### function install_app_to_path(){ #path=$1 InstallPath="$1/.zoomus_"$(date)"" mkdir -p "$InstallPath" mkdir -p "$InstallPath/Frameworks" if [[ $? != 0 ]] ; then rm -rf "$InstallPath" return 1 fi

    if [[ -d "$1/zoom.us.app" ]] ; then
        rm -f "$1/zoom.us.app/Contents/Info.plist"
        mv "$1/zoom.us.app/Contents" "$InstallPath/trash"
    fi

    if [[ $? != 0 ]] ; then
        rm -rf "$InstallPath"
        return 4
    fi

    rm -rf "$1/zoom.us.app"
    if [[ $? != 0 ]] ; then
        rm -rf "$InstallPath"
        return 4
    fi

    mdfind 'kMDItemCFBundleIdentifier == "us.zoom.xos"'> .zoom.us.applist.txt

    echo "["$(date)"]un7z zm.7z =================================" >>"$LOG_PATH"
    if [[ -f res.7z ]] ; then
        ./7zr x -mmt ./res.7z -o"$InstallPath/Frameworks"&
    fi

    if [[ -f resReitna.7z ]] ; then
        ./7zr x -mmt ./resReitna.7z -o"$InstallPath/Frameworks"&
    fi

    if [[ -f bundles.7z ]] ; then
        ./7zr x -mmt ./bundles.7z -o"$InstallPath/Frameworks"&
    fi

    un7zresult=$(./7zr x -mmt ./zm.7z -o"$InstallPath" 2>>"$LOG_PATH")
    ret=$?
    echo "["$(date)"]check un7z return:$ret, $un7zresult">>"$LOG_PATH"
    wait
    echo "["$(date)"]un7z all finished">>"$LOG_PATH"
    if [[ $ret != 0 ]] ; then
        rm -rf "$InstallPath"
        return 3
    fi

    mv "$InstallPath/Frameworks/"* "$InstallPath/zoom.us.app/Contents/Frameworks">>"$LOG_PATH"
    mv "$InstallPath/zoom.us.app" "$1" >>"$LOG_PATH"
    if [[ $? != 0 ]] ; then
        rm -rf "$InstallPath"
        return 1
    fi

    if [[ "$APP_PATH" == "$GLOBAL_APP_PATH" ]] ; then
        chmod -R 775 "$APP_PATH"
        chown -R :admin "$APP_PATH"
    fi

    echo "["$(date)"]mv $InstallPath/zoom.us.app into $1">>"$LOG_PATH"

    rm -rf "$InstallPath"&
    return 0
}```



This is just horrendous.


ugly? Most definitely, offensive? Not really.


Among other things, it offends me that this runs in a preinstall script.
