Hi Doru,
1. So much as I know, there no way to do such a change (disabling),
by using a function or script, in a normal way. Just if you are the
developer from the application.
2. In fact, what you are asking for is to make a change/
modification in the Installer.app which came as a default
application on every Mac OS X.
3. You can make this change, first into your mac, by make some
modification in the Installer.app, using the Interface Builder.app.
4. Once you made this change, you need to provide this with your
future.pkg.
5. That means, the user will install on his Mac the new
modification you made for the Installer.app to, when he will
install your application to (but this is not recommended).
6. Bay doing this, you make a violation of the Apple Installer.app
which is under the Apple Inc. License provided as it is.
7. The 'Back' button, in some situation, by providing a 'Restart'
or 'Logout' after the installation, will appears there but will be
inactive. Is that not enough to you?
I'm not sure to understand how your suggestion would work because you
are suggesting to modify Installer.app and include it in the .pkg you
install. If you do this, this does not solve the issue since your
package is being installed by an unmodified version of Installer.app.
Without violating anything or anyone, you can "just" use an Installer
plugin (which VMware already uses for the License Key AFAIK) and
modify the controller for the Summary pane through code swizzling or
a category.
