Does anyone know how an installer plug-in within a flat distribution can affect the Custom Install choices? I've tried writing to a file from the plug-in, which is then read by a tool called via system.run(). This is not particularly desirable since PlugIns and Scripts appear to be in separate sandboxes with no connection between them, and thus the file had to be at a constant path relative to TMPDIR, but it was the only means of communication I could find. But it turns out not to be any means of communication because all of the 'selected' expressions of the install choices were evaluated two or three times before the plug-in loaded, and then were never evaluated again until I began manually clicking the Custom Install checkboxes. I would in fact like to be able to eliminate Custom Install altogether, and just have the choices preset by the plug-in. I also tried having the volume-check function force recalculation of the selections, but that was also called before the plug-in loaded. Does anyone know a way to force recalculation _after_ my plug-in has had its user interaction? ------------------------------------- Steve Stockman Software Architect/Technical Director Consumer Products - Macintosh Symantec Corporation www.symantec.com ------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
