Hi all.

Some time ago we made an installer using Stéphane Sudre (Wonderfull)
Packages: http://s.sudre.free.fr/Software/Packages/about.html

We have noticed some of our installations could cause some errors due
Firefox/Thunderbird running while installing.
Thats the reason i would like to show a warning to the user saying
something like:
"The installer has detected Firefox/Thunderbird are running in your
computer. Close them and press Retry, or press Cancel to cancel the
installation." (With the proper Retry-Cancel buttons).

Considering i have no idea of Cocoa/whatever other UI in OSX, how can
i achieve this?
I know i can run an script on InstallationCheck or preFlight scripts,
but how could i show a pretty dialog asking the user? Is this feature
built-in in Packages/OSX .(m)pkg?

Thaks a lot and have a nice day!
