You could use NSWorkspace's -openFile: to open the .prefpane
bundle as a document. It's a registered document type for System
Preferences.app, which will then give the user the option of
installing it for that user only (in ~/Library/PreferencePanes) or
for all users (/Library/PreferencePanes). The app will also take
care of authorizing as admin if needed.
If you choose this method, you will want to make sure that the
System Preferences application is closed before you try to install
your new pane (or restart it after you've installed). If the user
has used / loaded the preference pane during an upgrade, the
behavior of the pane after install is unpredictable, presumably
because it is not possible to unload Objective-C code.
Good point. Kind of annoying though. With all the "smart" behavior
that System Preferences does have with respect to installing new
panes. It seems a strange omission that it can't restart itself when
needed.
