However, there is scope for this installer being integrated into a main/shell installer too (that is run with "installer.app") as a Metapackage. In this scenario, the separate application would install it's contents without providing installation feedback in the main installer's progress bar. In case the user's guide install size was large, this could seem like a hang to the user of the main installer.
Yep, I've just done a title for a games company where this is an issue. The only content installed by the package itself is the game's .app - the game's data is extracted into the app during postflight using 7-Zip as this was the only way to get it to fit onto CD. We have already had people asking if the installer is hanging as it can take up to 10 minutes for the content to decompress. Our solution to this problem in future, unfortunately, has been to write a custom installer tool. -- Best regards, Peter mailto:darkmatter@freeuk.com _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
