So, when creating the installer project, I specify a system-version requirement, and also I add the "Title Key" and the "Message Key" on the "Requirement Properties" tab. And my question is that how to localized this two keys information? Follow the PackageMaker Help document, I created a IFRequirements.strings which contains the key-value pair like this: "Title" = "Hello"; "Message" = "Sorry, Pre-Tiger is not supported!"; And then I copy this string file to en.lproj and zh_TW.lproj path of Resources dir, respectively. But the keys itself always be used. Seems the installer can not find the value of the keys in the IFRequirements.strings file. Can anyone point out which part is not correct? Thans ahead.

Mac OS X Deployment v10.5 There's at least one chapter about PackageMaker 3 that look more useful than the current Apple documentation (I just had time to read a few pages diagonally). It's $59.99 and there's a 30% discount on their booth if you happen to be at Macworld Expo. N.B: I don't own any share in Peachpit press, it's just that the book may be of some interest if you're working with PackageMaker. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

I don't know if Installer.app is a special case, but the usual solution is to add a custom executable to your plug-in project, pointing it at the host application (in this case /System/Library/ CoreServices/Installer.app). Make it the active executable for your plug-in target. Set your breakpoints and run. (I'm ashamed to say I've never actually done this with Installer plug- ins, so I may be missing some detail.) - F -- Fritz Anderson - Xcode 3 Unleashed, now in its second printing <http://x3u.manoverboard.org/> _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
