- Thread-topic: public generic wizard framework?
The Tiger installer allows for custom installer plugins, that, if they conform to the API, allow themselves to be loaded into a view and interact with the user. The InstallerSections.plist controls the order of those sections. Apple's built-in sections are in the Installer.app's PlugIns directory.
Similarly, from a casual inspection of /System/Library/CoreServices/Setup Assistant.app and some of the other Setup Assistants in that folder, that they too have a series of bundles representing views, though they live in the Resources section of those applications.
Is there some commonly usable generic wizard framework where any app can present a list of view bundles and have it operate like the Installer section/panes or Setup Assistants? One that would get updated with appropriate UI changes if the Installer/Setup Assistants get updated in a major release?
Or, to turn this on its head, can an application host the Installer.app plugins in itself (usefully)?
