Is it possible to use .nib files in external code binaries executed by
the preinstall or postinstall executables at runtime in the installer?
Yes. With the restrictions that if you have GUI elements in your nib
(Windows), they won't work if the installation is run with the
installer command line and probably ARD.
If so how does one package these bundles with the .nib files in them?
2 solutions:
o your external code is a bundled application. You can invoke it with
open.
o you create a bundle for the resources and use this bundle as the
reference when you need to load your nib files.
Can the .nibs be placed in the built .pkg or .mpkg's /Resources/
.lproj directories and have the installer automatically find them at
runtime when an external executable is run or do they need to be
loaded manually from the external executable?
You need to load them manually since this would not be the same bundle
and your executable has no way to discover this by itself.
