Then, via an installer plugin, you can display UI asking the user to locate their Adobe InDesign install location and copy your plugins to the appropriate "Plugins" folder at that location. Steven You can't assume that's where those folders are going to be. Mine aren't there, for example. You'll need to do some clever science to attempt to locate the user's folders before installing.

I would at least attempt to locate them first. Do work for the user when you can. I don't know much about installer plug-ins. Can they execute C and Obj-C code? -----Original Message----- From: Michael Watson <mikey-san@bungie.org> To: Walter <walterw@optonline.net> Cc: installer-dev@lists.apple.com Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2007 10:51:00 -0500 Subject: Re: How do I get Packagemaker to install plug-ins for Adobe InDesign Currently I make the users copy the plug-in manually but would like to have the installer handle it for me.
