Thanks, for both the custom plugin suggestion and the AppleScript suggestion. In terms of the AppleScript route, how does the answer get passed to a script? (If for example, I want to use the answer in a PostFlight Script?) I suppose one could have AppleScript write it in a file somewhere and then you could read it from your script. But is there an easier way? I haven't looked at the sample code yet, so I don't know if the same question applies to the custom installer plugin approach or not. But unless it is real close to what I want, I may go the AppleScript route. Is there anyway from any kind of any Installer script (preflight, postflight, etc.) to ask the user for a value and to get that value from within a script? (Bash, Perl, AppleScript, etc.) In this case, we'd like to ask the user for a name of something. And then use that name within a script. My fear based on the answer to the recent progress question is that the answer is probably No. But this is just different enough that I thought it might be worth hoping otherwise.
