Example: A Photoshop instance is in /Applications. A symbolic link to /Applications is created in /tmp. The package points to this symbolic link. The limitations are: - I haven't tested that. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

I'd like to preset a menu to the user, listing the appropriate Photoshop installations found, and allow the user to check off the locations they want, then automatically copy the plugin into the proper locations (which are nested inside the plugin folders). Is this possible with an Installer Plugin for OS X 10.4 and up? At the very least, I'd like to automatically find an appropriate Photoshop installation location and present that as the default install location. I haven't found a way to do that yet using scripting. Is that possible? The problem we have is people do not read the installation instructions and end up installing the plugin into the default location (since we can't preset the default location to an appropriate place). Then they complain when the plugin doesn't show up in Photoshop. It would be ideal to not allow them to install until an appropriate location is either discovered automatically or selected by the user. Any suggestions on how to deal with either of these problems? - When the user has selected the one they want, create a symbolic to the destination folder in /tmp. Set your default package destination to be the default symbolic folder in /tmp. And enable the Follow Links option. - It does not work with ARD or the installer command line tool. It could be improved by creating the symbolic link to the default plugins location in the InstallationCheck script. But it's still not a perfect solution.
