Hello Stephane,thanks for giving the reason, why it's
not possible.The idea was to display some information
to the user, after the installation was done (like where he could look
for updates when he installed from a potentially old dvd-medium). Showing
that information before the installation seems too early, and showing it
before the user got the message that the medium-installation succeeded
also seems not optimal (but might be ok...).Another thing I maybe need in the future
is to have an "always up to date" installer and I was thinking
how to do it with the standard installer. A "self-made" approach
could be to have an installer plugin that downloads and installs the latest
patch directly after the installation of the version from the medium. But
maybe that's a bad idea (starting an installation at the end of another
installation is probably hard to make intuitive for the user). Yours,PaulFrom: Stephane Sudre <email@hidden>> <email@hidden>
