Hello,
I guess someone must have noticed this.
The destination typed in PackageMaker is actually a string that would
be attached to the "Destination Select" at the time of installation! I
didn't think it was that easy.

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
