Packages that launch applications

Hi all,

I'm trying to make the Installer run a little configuration app with a GUI that I've cooked up in Cocoa, but I've had no luck.

I've tried renaming the app to "postflight" (without the .app extension) and including it as a resource for the package, but it wouldn't work. I tried writing a shell script that launches the application (by going into the app's directory and calling the executable in the MacOS folder), which works when I try it from the CLI but not when Installer runs the script, for some reason.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I really need to be able to prompt the user for some initial configuration settings, and it has to be at the install point.

Thanks,

Dan.
