My users want me to make my installer offer them the choice of installing the product (which happens to be a Finder Contextual Menu plug-in) into either the global location, /Library/Contextual Menu Items/, or into their home directory, ~/Library/Contextual Menu Items/. It seems to me I've seen installers with a check box for that sort of choice, but I can't figure out how to do that in PackageMaker. Is there a way? I'm particularly concerned about how to drive the Installer UI in this; I can create scripting to put the files where I want them.

I've seen a Screensaver installer that does this. IIRC, they proceed like this:


1) They use an Installer-Plugin to let the user select the destination. The files are always installed into the same temporary location.

2) With the help of a postflight script, they move the files from the temporary location to the destination selected by the user.
