Hi Everyone,
I’m
having difficulty getting a package to adhere to its default install location
if the user selects a custom location for another package in the distribution package,
here’s what I have:
I need to deploy a
package for a product from another company within our distribution package, so
I’m just adding it within its own install choice. The package needs to go
to the root of the system volume and I have it setup to do so. You can also
view the Info.plist from their package and it is set
to default to root and it isn’t relocatable. I
have this package hidden, but selected in our installer project. If you install
using their package, the user isn’t given a choice for an alternate
volume or location.
I also have our
application in the distribution package, but I want the user to be able to
install it to a different volume. The problem we’re having is everytime the user selects a different volume for our
application the other company’s product also goes to root of that volume instead
of installing to the root of the system volume.
I’m using PackageMaker 3.0.1 and the distribution package project is
set to support Tiger and Leopard. I’ve toyed with the settings for the
install choice and component for our app and the package from the other company,
but nothing seems to work. Is this just a quirk of the installer app or
expected behavior? I’d think this would be supported, but I could be
wrong.
Thanks in advance
for any help,
