This is a rather complex behavior that will set up programs, check for QuickTime, copy files, etc. It will also check to see if it has run before so the user does not have to go through the process each time. Just put it on the frame script of the first frame of your movie and you are ready to go. Make sure you carefully follow the specifications of how to set up each field in the parameters and do not include unnecessary spaces. To allow for a re-install, run the cleanForReinstall() command.
