Hello folks,
There's nothing specific currently for this kind of thing.

New to the list, reach through the archives on lists.apple.com. A
perhaps silly question.... but is it possible to add any type of
plug-in to an Apple installer that would add an additional panel to
the install? I'm thinking of a task like prompting the user for a
serial number before continuing with the install. Since I can't find
any Apple installers that do this, and the idea presents challenges
for remote and command-line install, I suspect the answer is 'no', but
I thought I'd ask
One workaround is to launch an application via a script: preflight,
postflight, etc...
But since this can be easily worked around by the user (and remote
installation is indeed challenging), you may not assume that the
serialization will always be performed during this installation
process. So you need to have another way to ask for serialization in
the software itself.

Thread-topic: Installer for a plug-in
All,
I have the task to write an installer for an Adobe Reader 7.0 plug-in.
What we want to do is use PackageMaker to write an installer for this.
So we have a plug-in file that needs to go into 'Adobe
Reader.app/Contents/Plug-ins'. The problem is that the user can install
Reader anywhere, and rename the .app. Is there a way to do this with
Token Definitions? Or how would you let the user pick the location? I
expected I could write a UserLocation search to find the real location
of Reader and install into that. Here's what I tried in
TokenDefinitions.plist (minus DTD header info):
<dict>
<key>UserLocation</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>searchPlugin</key>
<string>CommonAppSearch</string>
<key>path</key>
<string>/Applications/Adobe Reader 7.0/Adobe Reader
7.0.app</string>
<key>identifier</key>
<string>com.adobe.Reader</key>
</dict>
</array>
</dict>
And the section from info.plist:
<key>IFPkgPathMappings</key>
<dict>
<key>./Applications/Adobe Reader 7.0/Adobe Reader 7.0.app</key>
<string>{UserLocation}</string>
</dict>
The IFPkgPathMappings key matches output from lsbom. I've tried many
Combos (Removing 'Applications', etc.). I guess I don't understand how
this matches up.
The code above seems to do nothing.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated on how to do this task.
Thanks,
Mike
