This is OT for the Cocoa list now, but you can set an EULA to be
displayed when mounting a dmg. I don't know how since I've never cared
to check but many apps do it so it's possible.
You could just have the user drag the whole folder to the installation
directory with an EULA being displayed when mounting the dmg.
Many apps come on a dmg with a background image showing the user that
they should drag the .app or folder to /Applications to install.

I've being experimenting since I wrote the above. My installation
consists of a folder that contains an application. I want the folder
to be created in "/Applications", however, it doesn't seem to let me
do this. I end up with just the .app file in "/Applications", not a
folder with the app inside it as I expected. So, how do I get it to
create a folder that contains my app file?
Why doesn't drag and drop work?
AFAIK it does work, but my boss wants to be able to display a "T&C" page
etc. and he wants an installer. Also it isn't a straight forward .app
file, it's an App file that is in a folder that also also contains other
folders/files.
Does your app *have* to be in /Applications? If so, that means all
the users with non-admin accounts won't be able to install the app
(and if you require read/write to anything in that folder, they can't
use it either-- nor can multiple users on one machine).
No, it doesn't have to be in "/Applications", but this is the
recommended place to put it if you want it to be accessible to all users
on the machine, isn't it? If not where does it get stored? That's where
every other app is stored and it's where it has been stored up until now
(using the AppleScript Installer) and I haven't had any problems
reported of people not being able to access it, or are you saying it
won't be accessible using a PackageMaker installer?
Thanks a lot,
All the Best
