Ihook is not big, and free to use. http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/ihook/ -Mike On 1/6/09 12:59 PM, "Bill Coderre" <bc@apple.com> wrote: On Jan 6, 2009, at 9:46 AM, Adam Fisk wrote:
Does anyone know if there's a way to set the status message from a postflight script? My script takes a little while for various reasons, so I'd like to assure the user things are still humming along.
Sorry, we don't have support for that in Installer.app. If you really want, you could create a GUI application to show progress. Yes, that's a lot of work. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
