I would like a lab administrator to download the package, and

path names) and then use Apple Remote Desktop to distribute that

Without installing the package, I don't see how to allow the admin
to set the path. But once it's installed on the admin computer and
the path is set, it's no longer in the package for easy delivery to
the client's machine. This software will be used in elementary
schools so letting the client-user set the path after installation
is not workable.
I'm a still a newbie to Package Maker. So, any advice would be
appreciated.
Multiple questions:
- which OS do you target?
10.4 or greater
- which Info.plist file are you referring to? The one of a bundle
package or an application bundle in the payload?
the Info.plist in the application bundle of the payload.
- What prevents you from doing this work in a postflight script?
Maybe nothing?
So, the script would need to query the path from the admin, before
mass distributing it to the clients.
And then modify the payload's .plist on each client machine as part of
the install in a postflight script.
I don't know if that is possible?
