I am trying to wrap a re-written installer plugin (the licensing
module for Final Cut Pro) in my own installer for internal use. But it
needs to touch a file in a restricted space on the hard drive. The
problem I am having is that no matter what requirements I put on the
package (admin/root permissions) the plugin always seems to be run as
the installing user rather than with elevated privileges. I have a
rough work-around in place in running the plugin after the install
phase runs with a script to pave the way, but this leaves the
permissions in a state I am not completely happy with.
I am using Iceberg to make my packages (can't seem to figure out how
to do plugins in PackageMaker... didn't try long), and I have tried
digging around the original installer to see if that is packaged any
differently, but I have not found anything.
Anyone have an insight for me?
