  • Subject: Location column in the Custom Install screen.

In PackageMaker 3.0.3, when the user clicks the Customize button, they get a list of packages that they can check or uncheck as they wish.  They are also allowed to change the location (destination) for that package.
 
What if I don't want the user to be able to change the destination location?  I have unchecked "Allow custom location" in the project, but it still shows up and allows the user to change it.  Is this a bug?
 
I installed iTunes 8.1.1 just to see a third party package, and their package doesn't have the Location column at all.  It was perhaps made with an earlier version of PackageMaker that didn't have the "custom location" feature.
 
i.e. I want the user to be able to choose which components are installed by checking or unchecking, but not change the location they are installed to.  More specifically, if the location could be displayed for each component, with only some being changeable, that would be ideal.
 
Thanks,
Andrew
