If you are on macOS 10.10 or above, the script will delete the file 'ZoomAudioDevice.kext' from the .app bundle. If run by an administrator, the script also executes a script as root to change the ownership of .app to root:admin. It also adds Zoom to your Dock automatically, without asking.īizarrely, .app is installed by unzipping a 7-zip archive, then unzipping another 7-zip archive containing graphics and copying that inside the Frameworks folder in the .app bundle. If they are an administrator, Zoom will delete the ugin from /Library if it's there, but it still installs to ~/Library. If the user opening the package isn't an administrator, it looks like it will install the app in the user's home folder instead. The script appears to install two items, namely: /Applications/.app

That's bonkers, and also means that the system won't have a list of the files it installed, because it's doing it using shell script. Rather than actually using the installer to install things, it does everything in the preinstall script. Reminder: Saving all documents to the cloud instead of your computer can be a lifesaver, especially if you are having an issue with your CSUMB computer and the computer needs to be swapped out.The Zoom install package for macOS is mad.
