Sometimes.  But, no matter how easy it is, if you rely on your
customers to install some third party SW that's required for your
program to work, they'll figure out a way to screw it up.

If you're shipping a Windows program, you can barely count on the
target machine having a working base Windows install.  Expecting
something else to be there is pure fantasy.
