- Thread-topic: how to add the model dialog during installation
About this issue, I think out a solution which can meet the special requirement of my custom, the key point of this requirement is to pop up a modal dialog in appropriate time during installation. So we can implement it by self like this way.
I mention that I have tried the install-plugin method; it really can extend the user experience of the Installation process to insert additional custom steps in the installation process of their software packages. So, in this additional custom view, can we write code to operate a modal window? When the installation process enter into this view, it popup a modal window, when user respond to it, exit the modal window, and continue to install.
I have no code experience about the modal window, so my question is that, is this solution feasible? If it is feasible, can anyone give me a piece of sample code to implement it?
Thanks very much.

2 solutions:
o Your solution works on Tiger and later only:
You can use a custom conclusion/summary text (you can even add a
drawing to make things clearer).
o You launch a helper app at the end of the installation from the
postflight script.
