I believe I have seen before the ability to add arbitrary buttons
to the installer while it's installing a package. In my case, I
want to have a button called "Run pre-installation check" (which
launches a separate script) to ensure that the system is capable
of running my package.
The difference between having a button and doing the same thing in
a preinstall script is that the button is *optionally* pressed.
Any ideas?
What exactly are you trying to do here with the optional check?
We have a separate small little app that does things like network
availability checks, firewall checks, etc. It runs in the
foreground and has a UI. After a user runs it, she can close it and
continue the installation if every test passed.
The way for a third party to modify the Installer's user-experience is
to create an Installer Plugin. An example is available online here:
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/InstallerPluginSample/
You could create a plugin that either performs these checks, or one
that optionally launches your tool.
