How is this any different from using Install'Access?

I would have thought since Install was defined within the generic
unit, Install'Access would be OK.

Or does Install'Access imply a temporary local variable?

Put another way, how can you create a dangling pointer with
Install'Access but not Install_Access?

Maybe I am just not awake today,
