Does the plugin's ViseX installer drop any remnants (akin to a PackageMaker receipt) anywhere? Is there a config file left lying around with the plugin's installed directory saved as a value? If so, you could query that file directly for the path.
Alternatively, could you include a "find" command in a preflight script to locate one of those audio samples and use its parent directory?

The supplier of the plug-in I wish to install requires that I use a ViseX solution so unfortunately I can't integrate the two packages into one installer. I figure that calling the ViseX installer from the PackageMaker installer is the closest I'll get.
I won't go too deeply into specifics but I'll summarise the product as follows: my software is used for composing MIDI sequences in order to produce music. A 3rd party synthesiser (the plug-in) is used as the playback engine. The synth plug-in's installer must prompt the user to specify a directory where several GB of audio samples can be stored. My software's installer must then read this install location from the plug-in's plist file and store several of its own elements in the same directory - hence the need to run the ViseX installer first.
