I hadn't heard of these before so I tried searching for locators and found a site which referred to locator definitions. Unfortunately it seems to refer to an older UI and I can't find anything similar in PM 3.0.4. Would you have any more details on locators? Would they work across volumes?
Thanks.

Hi,
I need to create a Primary installer which installs the main application and supplementary installers which the users could opt to install later. The supplementary installer would have to find where the primary installed the main application and then add files to the application's bundle. Are there are recommendations/known approaches on creating such a supplementary installer? The crude approach would be to install to /tmp/ and then use postinstall steps to figure out which disk the application was actually installed on and then move the files there. I am sure I can do better than this :).
I have seen the patch root option in the PackageMaker UI and it made me wonder if I could somehow use it. Would anyone have links to any documentation on how patching works with PackageMaker?
Use Search Locators. You don't need (an don't want) to use a patch.
