I wrote a script to read the passed args so I could figure it out Apple would not answer my mail when I asked them. I could not find anything on it anywhere on apple's site or on-line. So I hacked it.

Hi,

I am building an installer with PackageMaker.
I need to be able to allow a user to install in a different directory
than the default, but I also need to know what directory that is in
order to run some post-install scripts. PackageMaker doesn't appear
to have a mechanism to do this (eg: set an environment variable that
can be later used in a script if a user has chosen non-default). Is
there anyway with PackageMaker/Installer to know what directory a user
has chosen to install in?

Many Thanks!
Larry
