Hello,
I am using leopard PackageMaker.app 3.0.1.
I've looked into the list's archive but so far I didn't find something
that satisfies my criteria of installation and how to achieve it. I
hope I didn't choose bad search parameters to research that in the
list. Also I present my apologies in advance if the question has been
answered previously. In that case I'd appreciate it if you post a link
for that post.
I've packaged an installation to be installed by an administrator for
all users in the /Library folder. That is a very easy and intuitive
setup. I must commend the engineers developing Packagemaker for that.
I even quit the application of concern and restarted it during the
installation process. That was easy too. Though, I wish if there was
an action that would prompt the user for accepting the quit action at
the time of the installation.
However, I got stuck when I was trying to grant the user to choose
between current account Library installation and root Library
installation. I did use "$HOME/Library" and it installs in the root
directory alright, but under a directory called, well you've guessed
it, /$HOME/Library. I used the "~" and the same thing happened. Of
course, the current user doesn't need administrator password to
install in his directory, but I read that this is a glitch that will
be fixed.
So, is there an easy way to do such setup? Or do I have to go the
preflight/postflight route with all the shell scripts?
Best wishes,
Ismail Tabtabai
