I am trying to setup a package maker installer to find an application
and install an extension to the location where the application is
installed. I can use "locator definitions" to find the application and
that works fine, but if the user has installed two copies of the
application on their computer, there is no way to let the user pick
which application to install the extension to.

IIRC, this is possible. The old Software Installation documentation (not the current one which is user centric vs developer centric) was dealing with the "user location" (or something close to that name). It works the same way as a locator but if it finds multiple locations, the user will be presented with a dialog to select which one to use. You can only define one "user location".


I think you can find this documentation on a 10.3 system. I've never used it myself so I can't guarantee it works.
