Hi there -
I want to be able to install one of two packages as part of a
metapackage
depending on whether a file is found. I have edited the packages to
add a
package requirement; one of them will install if the file is found; the
other will not install if the file is found.
This didn't work - the installation fails if the requirements for
either of
the packages fails.
It looks like I can do what I want to do with an InstallationCheck
script -
and I see some examples in the list archives. My concern with this
approach
is the big floating Legacy Document warning on the InstallationCheck
page on
the Apple site.
Is there another approach, or do I just need to get over the legacy
document warning?
Thanks in advance for any opinions...
What is the big legacy warning? Is it the "this package contains a
program that determines if the software can be installed. Are you sure
want to continue?" warning?
If it's really a trouble for you, one solution could be to write a
quick Cocoa (or another language) Front-End to determine which package
should installed, add the packages in the resources and voilà!
You could even stick a Package icon on the application if you really
want it to look like a package.
