| Mat Howell provides a description of the stub installer [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HKFETH8sJEaTs7vUj6RX96gO5heLw6eDncRhgQbNSuI/preview here]. From that description:

| | |
| The stub installer works by presenting some options to the user, then
| |
| downloading the appropriate full installer and using those options to run it
| |
| silently. The full installer is what actually installs the application; the
| |
| stub installer only serves as a launcher for the full installer.
| |
| ...
| |
| The stub installer sends one “ping” request right before it exits, whether
| |
| the installation succeeded or failed. A checkbox is present in the options
| |
| screen that allows the user to disable the ping.
