I would at least attempt to locate them first. Do work for the user
when you can.
I don't know much about installer plug-ins. Can they execute C and
Obj-C code?

You could install your plugins to some temporary location on the

UI asking the user to locate their Adobe InDesign install location
and copy your plugins to the appropriate "Plugins" folder at that
location.

You can't assume that's where those folders are going to be. Mine
aren't there, for example.
You'll need to do some clever science to attempt to locate the user's
folders before installing. I want to say this almost might be easier
with a Cocoa app of some sort, since you can leverage LaunchServices.

I use PackageMaker for an installer for my application. The

Currently I make the users copy the plug-in manually but would
like
to have
the installer handle it for me.
From what I was reading, it seems like its possible, but I can't
figure out
where to get started.
