Is it possible using the standard Installer Plugin API to force the
choices states to be recomputed?
Example:
--------
I have an Installer plugin which creates some temporary files.
Some choices are selected or not depending on the existence of these
files.
If I do this:
1. run my Installer plugin step
2. move to the Installation Type step and show the custom install list
=> The choices are correctly selected or not.
3. move back to my Installer plugin step, make some changes.
4. move to the Installation Type step (the custom install list is
already visible)
=> The choices are not correctly selected.
5. Switch between custom and standard install mode.
=> The choices are correctly selected.
So either this is a bug (always a possibility), the designed behavior
(the other name for a bug according to BugReporter) or really the
designed behavior.
In the 3rd case, it would be nice to have a method in the Installer
Plugin SDK to force the choices to be recomputed because their
dependencies could be different after visiting an Installer Plugin step.
Tested on Snow Leopard 10.6.2.
