Nominating for branch.  This is not being supported for OS X.  If a user needs
to install to the startup folder, it will fail.

I'm not sure what we can do about this.  We can discuss further at triage. 
Updating Status to Assigned.

That folder name is not valid under Mac OS X - marking WONTFIX.

If that's not a valid target then getFolder("Mac Startup") should return null,
not some other wrong directory.
