For example: /Users/USERNAME/Applications is not possible to support since user name is not known. /usr/bin requires root privileges and should contain symbolic links. Locations which does not exist also not possible to support, since DMG cannot create paths. So /Applications/MyCompany is not possible for DMG.
Should we always show warning messages, especially that output will be different from what user expected? I can switch to Log.verbose(), but I still think it should be displayed always.
