Hi,
Sorry for the off-topic post. I'm lost as to were to find this info
out. I've just finished a preference pane (written in cocoa - does
that qualify for the post) that I want to package up for installation.
I want it to install into
~/Library/PreferencePanes
but when I go use PackageMaker it says that you can't install into a
home directory. According to Apple's documentation concerning
installation, this should be fine if you want your "thing" only
available in the "local" domain. Exactly what I want, only available
for that user.
Anyone have any suggestions? This installation is geared for the
beginner, so I didn't want them dragging and creating folders in
~/Library.
Any help or pointing in the right direction is appreciated.
IMHO, installers should be avoided if at all possible. If your product
is a single entity, that gets installed in a single place, just put it
on a disk image, and let the user drag it to it's final destination
(and put something in the readme about the possible install locations).
