Hi Mike,

Our installer needs to be able to delete itself at the end of the

Ah, okay.
I've also tried using
mpkgBundle = [ NSBundle bundleForClass:[ self Class ] ];
as suggested but self does not respond to the Class message in that
context.
Am I supposed to substitute my plugin's class in place of Class in
the above statement?
No, just follow Stéphane's advice about class' capitalization (the
method name is "class", not "Class") and it should work.
Peter & Stéphane's advice is your best bet for the time being. I'd
encourage you to file an enhancement request at http://bugreporter.apple.com
for us to expose this in the InstallerPlugins API.
Thanks!
Luke
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
What exactly are you trying to do here that you need the package's
bundle for?

Why wouldn't it work (if you replace Class with class)?
You probably have at least one subclass of the Installer Plugins
classes. If you run this method on an instance of this subclass,
you will get the NSBundle of the plugin.
Then you would just have to build the path of the metapackage
"bundle" from the path of the plugin bundle (+[NSBundle
bundleWithPath:]).

That would be a neat trick but in this case it won't work because
self is an InstallerPane which is a member of an InstallerSection
which is an NSView in the class object.
Thanks,
Mike

Is there an easy way to get the NSBundle of the .mpkg that
contains a plugin from the plugin's code?
I see the InstallerSection class has a -bundle method but it
appears to return the plugin's bundle, not the bundle of
the .mpkg itself. This also doesn't seem to be mentioned in
Software Delivery Guide.
A useful NSBundle trick for plugins everywhere:
[NSBundle bundleForClass:[self Class]]
This should find you the bundle that whatever class you're in
came from.
