It is impossible for me to create a certificate that requests different permission sets for Windows and Mac. Windows requires this permission set.

If you don't trust my application, why would you use it, anyway? Do you really trust your OS so much that you are willing to be insecure and let it act as your bodyguard?

P.S. If you really must know, a JWS application is not authorized to make files anywhere except in your temporary directory without requesting this permission set. Installers don't work too well that way. The application itself will not request this access.
