No - it will install only the first time. Once the software is
successfully installed, it'll stay untouched on that machine. It'll not
repeat installation every startup.

It actually caches parts of the software (the .aas install script and an
Appmgmt.ini file with configuration settings for sure) in a local
machine folder - %systemroot%\appmgmt and - if I remember right - a list
of all installed packages somewhere in the registry. Based on that, I
can tell if it installed the package before or if it is new.

cheers,
