Why? There is no reason why they should be installed.

It should work with any source, as long as there are sufficient permissions.

People reported that 0.8 is working while earlier versions have been broken.

There really should be some option to turn this off. There is no 7.x  
version for my older Pocket PC, so I can't test this myself.
