SOLVED: [installer-dev] Postinstall Script: Where is my Software?

There is the answer:

"A relocatable component is one that may be moved by the user after it’s installed. For example, after installing an application into / Applications, a user with administrator privileges may move it to / Volumes/Family/Applications. When the user installs a relocatable component a second time on the same computer, the Installer application searches for the component’s existing files in additional locations in the file system, not just the location at which the component was installed, according to the Installer package database)."

Hello,

I have tried to RTFM and STFW, but to no avail...

Can my post-installation script find out where the user actually installed the software, i.e. if "Allow custom location" is set?

I would like to allow users to install the software anywhere on their machine, but I need to run some script on it.

Thanks a lot

Alex
