I'm looking for a PackageMaker plug-in that would show a panel after

installation was complete that had a checkbox that said something

like:



[X] Show ReadMe



When checked and the user clicks "Continue", it would open a URL

that is specified during package creation (or the URL specified in

a file included in the Resources folder).



Has something like this already been written?


This is pretty easy.

AFAIK, you just need to overwrite - (void)willExitPane: (InstallerSectionDirection)dir; and deal with the InstallerDirectionForward direction.

To illustrate the "pretty" easy statement, I have put up a small project that does this. In case, a 3rd party tool is used to create the package, there's also a simple project for this tool included in the archive.

In this plug-in project, the ReadMe file is a RTF file within the plugin, it could be possible to relocate the RTF file to the package project. This would require modifying the code a bit so that the path points to the right location.

Hope it can help.
