No problem. I can't test the macOS version. It looks like you're doing something a little different when running the installer on macOS. On Windows it's os.startfile(dest) (if dest exists) and on macOS it looks like you're using subprocess.Popen on the downloaded .dmg. Hopefully someone can confirm it's working on macOS.
