Well, the main issue with my original bug was that the file was being 
transfered to a temporary location before being installed. The user was 
complaining that the temporary location wasn't where it was actually 
installed, so the dialog was misleading.

Do we need to show the destination at all? Perhaps we could rework the 
interface so that it was a little more friendly?
