This is really weird. I have an installer plugin that runs after the standard Target pane. First time I run the installer, everything works normally. The second time I run the installer, after agreeing to the license agreement, the menu (at left) jumps right past the Target pane directly to my plugin name, but the main display is stuck on the License Agreement pane.

Anyone seen this?
A note - this happens to me but I have multiple drives on the system. Another person who has only one drive doesn't experience the problem.

Found it!

Seems the second time the installer runs, the installer is skipping the Select Destination pane and jumping directly to my plugin. But it does this without setting the targetVolume member of the parent section.

My installer plugin code assumed targetVolume would be set, so my code was throwing an exception. In Obj C, this doesn't result in a crash, so the installer app just froze up on the previous pane that was visible, which happened to be the License Agreement.

I don't know why this happens, and only on 10.5.

Is your package set to install only on the root volume?
