+==== Cookieless Installs ====
+
+For unsupported browsers or projects with custom installers, we will pass the needed information 
+by renaming the installer to include the additional information.
+
+Executable parameters are as follows:
+
+ '''amu''': the master URL
+ '''an''': the project name
+ '''aa''': the user authenticator
+ '''asc''': the setup cookie
+
+Usage Rules:
+
+ * Each parameter is broken up into name/value pairs
+ * Each name/value pair is separated by an underscore
+ * Each value is base64 encoded
+
+Note: Using the setup cookie is more desirable than storing the authenticator as part of the
+executable name.  Setup cookies are created by the project server and expire after a given
+period of time.  During the manager's attach process, it'll use the lookup account RPC to
+convert the setup cookie into the user's weak authenticator.
