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.
