Luke,

Thanks for your help.           

So I'm trying to display with NSRunAlertPanel the return value of method targetPath without any success.      

If I try 
NSRunAlertPanel(targetPath(), @"MSG", nil, nil, nil);
I get from linker error message "/usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols: _targetPath"

or if I try
NSRunAlertPanel([self targetPath], @"MSG", nil, nil, nil);
I get an warning 'ActDlgPane' may not respond to '-targetPath'

I'm C++ programmer. Calling an method as an parameter inside an other method different in Cocoa ?
Are I doing something wrong ?

I need to access targetPath return value. 

Michel Cunha

Hi Michel,

Hi,

Question #1:

I'm writing an Installer Plugin and I need to create files in the full target path selected by the user in the "Select Destination dialog".
However I did not find any method and/or variables that will return me that information.

Is there any method that will return me this information ?

See <InstallerPlugins/InstallerState.h>:
/*!
    @method     targetVolumePath
    @abstract   Specifies the mount point of the selected target
    @discussion Only Available after target has been selected.
*/
- (NSString *)targetVolumePath;

/*!
    @method     targetPath
    @abstract   Full target path selected.
    @discussion Specifies the full path selected by the user.  This path contains the targetVolumePath.
*/
- (NSString *)targetPath;


Question #2:
Is there an web site with Installer Plugins samples that I can look to help me understand how to write Installer Plugins in Cocoa (I'm C++ programmer).

Currently there is none that Apple has posted.  But if you're looking to get started working with Cocoa in general, check out http://developer.apple.com/cocoa
