site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com User-agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.17 (Macintosh/20080914) Hi, Hello, I have tried to RTFM and STFW, but to no avail... I have searched quite a while for the exact same question. The answer is hidden (or not hidden, depending how you look at it:-) in Apples SoftwareDeliveryGuide, page 46: http://developer.apple.com/DOCUMENTATION/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/SoftwareD... [...] The following list describes the arguments and environment variables available to install operation executables. Note that not all environment variables are available to all executables (see Table 7-2 (page 47)). $1: Full path to the installation package the Installer application is processing. For example: /Volumes/Users/michelle/Desktop/Levon.mpkg $2: Full path to the installation destination. For example: /Applications $3: Installation volume (or mountpoint) to receive the payload. For example: / $4: The root directory for the system: / $SCRIPT_NAME: Filename of the operation executable. For example: preflight $PACKAGE_PATH: Full path to the installation package. Same as $1. $INSTALLER_TEMP: Scratch directory used by Installer to place its temporary work files. Install operations may use this area for their temporary work, too, but must not overwrite any Installer files. The Installer application erases this directory at the end of the install. For example: /private/tmp/.Levon.pkg.897.install $RECEIPT_PATH: Full path to a temporary directory containing the operation executable. This is a subdirectory of $INSTALLER_TEMP. This location may vary between installs. The executable can use this path to locate other files in the package. For example: /private/tmp/.Levon.pkg.897.install/Receipts/Levon.pkg/Contents/Resources [...] Cheers, Mario _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

I would like to allow users to install the software anywhere on their machine, but I need to run some script on it. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
