Installer-dev mailing list (Installer-dev@lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/installer-dev/site_archiver%40lists.a... I believe I have seen before the ability to add arbitrary buttons to the installer while it's installing a package. In my case, I want to have a button called "Run pre-installation check" (which launches a separate script) to ensure that the system is capable of running my package. The difference between having a button and doing the same thing in a preinstall script is that the button is *optionally* pressed. Any ideas? We have a separate small little app that does things like network availability checks, firewall checks, etc. It runs in the foreground and has a UI. After a user runs it, she can close it and continue the installation if every test passed. The way for a third party to modify the Installer's user-experience is to create an Installer Plugin. An example is available online here: http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/InstallerPluginSample/ You could create a plugin that either performs these checks, or one that optionally launches your tool.
