Thanks for the response Thomas.

What I want to do is create the pkg on the fly by the code. The setup program has text fields for the user (in this case the lab administrator) to set the custom preferences which my program pulls from the plist. Now I just need to be able to construct a plist from those textfields (not too difficult with NSUserDefaults) and create an installer pkg on the fly that includes that custom plist. This way the user will be able to deploy their customized version of my software without ever having to manually edit the plist and then copy it down to all the machines.

Is this something you have done before and might know how to do.

Thanks again.

Ryan

Hey all-

I have a helper program that essentially only needs to create a plist for a different gui-less program. This can be done manually, but I want a gui to aid users. What I would like, is for the user to open this setup program, set some custom strings and other preferences, and have the setup program make a pkg including the plist that can then be deployed to all the macs.

Any thoughts,

Ryan
