Sadly, I'm still using packagemaker on the command line. I could make a copy of the EULAs and make them part of the payload, but it doesn't solve the localization problem - i.e. I'd like to only install one EULA, not all of them. /Mick On Jan 14, 2014, at 5:05 PM, Conor Schutzman wrote:
What are you using for your development application? I use Packages, and thus can easily point both the installer plugin and the payload to reference the same file.

Thanks for your reply, Bill.
1) I am using the plugin. I've asked management if it's sufficient. I want to know my options should they say "no". :)
2) Assuming that my payload does not include a standard app bundle (it does not), is it possible to install only the license agreement for the user's language as part of the payload?

1) If you are using the “License” installer plugin (and you should), there’s a button to save the license wherever the user wants. Isn’t that good enough?
2) Apple adds licenses/acknowledgements to the payload, usually as part of the application itself. This makes the package bigger, but it greatly simplifies coding.
3) Please bear in mind that this is not an endorsement, and is not guaranteed to work.
You can find user language preferences here https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/qa/qa1391/_index.html
As said below, your current working directory in a post install script is the “Resources” folder in your package.

I should have mentioned my installer is localized with 8 languages. How do I get the EULA for the current language?

In post install, you should just be able to reference the file as ./filename (as your PWD for the post install script *should* be the same folder). You could then just use that as the source in a copy command.

Is it possible to install a file from the installer package Resources folder? My overlords want to save the EULA so the user can look at it any time they like.
Is there a way to do this from the postflight script? Environment variables?
