Why do you say the way Chrome does it requires custom installer logic? Electron is able to use Chromium's sandbox for renderer processes without imposing any installer requirements as far as I know.

That's a good question, I'm not sure how Electron does it. Chrome sets things up at install time with special permissions on its own files so the sandboxed processes can read them.

    Ah, OK. Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if Electron made it work by weakening the sandboxing. Someone should look into that though before we assume that's the case.
