The usual way to get locations within a plugin (or a bundle) is to use the NSBundle API: [NSBundle bundleForClass:[MynstallerPlugin class]]; Once you have the NSBundle instance, you can get the location of everything within the bundle. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

Thanks, Peter Lee -- Peter Lee - Rising Software - http://www.risingsoftware.com/ Publishers of 'Auralia' Ear Training and 'Musition' Theory Training _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

Some of our installers are very similar and we often copy the .pkgproj files and modify bits and pieces with a text editor. The UUID values that are in there for each package - are they look like random (version 4) type UUIDs? Is it safe enough to just replace these with newly generated UUIDs? Are they used by installer.app at all or only internally within the project files to link things together?

I don't believe so. Every distribution file I've seen has hard-coded installKBytes values. Probably Apple has a tool to auto-generate these from component packages... -Greg On Apr 10, 2012, at 1:23 AM, Vikram Singh wrote: > Hi, > > I have 10 component packages. I want to call all of them from a distribution package. I don't want to include them inside the distribution package so I have mentioned the custom path of the packages instead. Everything seems to work but there is one problem. When I try to run the distribution package, it is showing the wrong size in the message "This will take 30 MB of space on your computer". It is not taking into account the sizes of the component packages because at the time of building that distribution package, the packagemaker doesn't has that information(Since only the path is mentioned). > So, the distribution script contains lines like > <pkg-ref installKBytes="0" ... /> > > So, is there any way I can solve this problem without hardcoding the size manually in the distribution script? > Thanks in advance. > > Thanks, > Vikram > _______________________________________________ > Do not post admin requests to the list.
