 OK. Is the design issue is reason enough?

 At which point? On desktop we have one window without any information
 about of four workspaces.

 This pseudo-code should work without problems:

 N = GetWorkspaces;
 SetWorkspaces(1);
 Install;
 SetWorkspaces(N);

 Installer window jumps when move from one workspace to another. This is
 bug.

 Sorry, but this is bad practice, especially for new users.
