Does anyone know how to create installer packages from VISE packages?
My goal here is to create an installer package of Dreamweaver that I
can install via ARD. Dreamweaver is provided by Adobe in the VISE
package format. I planned on packaging up the Dreamweaver VISE
package, and an AppleScript that will install the package, all in one
installer package and deploy it that way. If anyone could provide any
hints or suggestions on this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Additionally to the snapshot suggestion which is surely the best
answer, there might be a stupid way to do it without a snapshot (but it
looks like a snapshot).
The idea would be the following one:
1. Create a disk image
2. Create a Skeleton of the higher OS Folders. Something like:
Disk Image --+-- Applications
|
+-- Library
|
+-- System --+-- Library --+-- CoreServices
3. Add a pseudo SystemVersion.plist file inside CoreServices. Maybe it
would be required to add some things in Library --+-- Frameworks if
there are some QuickTime requirement for instance.
4. Install the VISE installer onto the Disk Image
5. Remove the System folder on the Disk Image (in most cases)
5. Create a package and points the ROOT folder to the Mounted Disk
Image.
Maybe there could be permissions issues as this is only an idea.
