@David: There are huge numbers of Mac users for whom Disk Images and/or zip files are voodoo
I agree. There actually is a spec of some sort for disk images that, when downloaded, turn into just an application and remove the archive. The theory is that it's then reasonably clear that the single application icon sitting on the desktop can be dragged to the Applications folder.
Personally, I don't like this approach because I want the archive to stay around. Something along the lines of what you suggest may be good.
