Hi,
Thanks for the ideas. I am not sure that I quite understand.
A couple of questions:
what is an invisible package?
Is the cookie being created with _javascript_ or is there a way to create it with a shell script?
Is this a correct paraphrase of this technique:
) the installer will be set up to always install the supporting files into location A
) location A will either be a real location or a symbolic link to the actual destination (either location B or C) if A does not really exist
) the cookie is used to tell the installer whether a symbolic link was used, in which case it will be deleted at the end
Would this technique work:
) use the script to create a symbolic link in /tmp to whichever A,B or C is found to exist
) install into /tmp/symboliclink?
Thanks,
Edward
