From it, I extract the plist file that has those settings and which is known to be syntactically correct. I then adjust fields as necessary and use the result as the plist input to the command line operation. OSullivan, Steve wrote: This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

Now I know I can do that with plugins and I have done that, but there are some in the list that I need to get rid of, but can't seem to find a way to remove them. Here is what I have, this list include my plugins. (Please don't beat me over this, I am trying to make an installer based on a Windows installer and they want it a certain way. i am lucky I even got them to agree to using PackageMaker) Now I am using plugins, because I have to show some custom UI elements and respond to user input. Introduction <-- This is from my Plugin, I thought the other Introduction would go away Welcome < -- This is another plugin Set Up Device <-- This is another plugin Summary Installation Destination Select Introduction Installation Type Now Summary, Installation, Destination Select, Introduction and Installation Type I would like to get rid of. We really have no need for these. I guess we could keep the Destination Select, but the rest we need to get rid of as we don't need them. Is there any way to get rid of these? Does anyone know how to do that? They really like what I have so far, but I need to get rid of those extra items in the list. AFAIK, you can't. You can try some tricks but this will result in issues and is not supported. If you want to have a UI that differs from the standard usual user experience, you might try writing a custom front-end using the Authentication Service and the installer command line tool.
