I see the InstallerSection class has a -bundle method but it appears to return the plugin's bundle, not the bundle of the .mpkg itself. This also doesn't seem to be mentioned in Software Delivery Guide. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

Changing the default installation location dynamically
by Frederik Juul Christiani 12 Apr '07

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: Installer-dev(a)lists.apple.com Organization: Thorsen Consulting ApS User-agent: KMail/1.9.6 Hi List, I'm trying to create an installer for a Photoshop Plug-In. I would like to present the user with possible install locations based on where Photoshop is installed. I haven't been able to find a way to change the default install location dynamically. Is this possible? Perhaps using InstallationCheck? I tried using the Find File feature, but it only seems to work on an upgrade, which I'm not necessarily doing. The installer has to work on 10.3.9 and later. I would appreciate any suggestions or hints you can give me. Thanks, Frederik -- Thorsen Consulting ApS - Qt consulting services http://www.thorsen-consulting.dk _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

I think the the icon is associated with the document type in the Applications Info.plist. Although, you may need to tell launch services or have the finder see the Application bundle in some way--like opening the directory where its contained.
