I'd launch the installer, check every 5 seconds whether is it running or
not, then (supposed it finished its work) make my own checkings...
on run
tell app "Finder" to open alias "path:to:installer"
end run
on idle
tell application "Finder" to name of processes
if "name of installer" is not in contents of result then
--> check stuff
end if
return 5 --> check every 5 seconds if installer is not running
end idle
