These might help for doing both windows and OSX installs:

Comrades,
We are thinking about the installer for our app, and my partner is
thinking
of a universal installer of some sort for Windows and Mac. I don't
see his
reasoning, but I want to check a couple of things with you folks
before I
say "that is a lousy idea"! )I want to use PackageMaker.)
So, two questions:
1 The app requires Java 5. If our users need to upgrade their Java,
it looks
like the best way to handle that is by pointing them at Apple's
website for
a new version. That means an 80Mb download, but I don't see any
reasonable
alternative. Is there another way of getting a Java upgrade that I have
missed, one which is not so big?
(I am against bundling the latest Java with our app, that sends our
package
size from around 6Mb to 86Mb, which my poor 28k dialup can't handle.)
2. Can PackageMaker be set up to check the Java version, and maybe
download
it? (or is this question not for this forum?)
Thanks,
Paul
