So we can implement it by self like this way. I mention that I have tried the install-plugin method; it really can extend the user experience of the Installation process to insert additional custom steps in the installation process of their software packages. So, in this additional custom view, can we write code to operate a modal window? When the installation process enter into this view, it popup a modal window, when user respond to it, exit the modal window, and continue to install. I have no code experience about the modal window, so my question is that, is this solution feasible? If it is feasible, can anyone give me a piece of sample code to implement it? Thanks very much.

Background: use PackageMaker to make an installer for installing device driver, and before complete installation process, notify the user to connect the device and computer by cable.
Requirement: my custom have special requirement to the dialog which is used to notify the user for connecting the device and computer. Before user click the “Close” button, the installer should popup a model dialog to notify, and this kind of dialog is same to the restart warning dialog. I mean it can not move and it locates in the up-middle of the installer window.
Anyone can give me some advice for the solution? Thanks very much.
2 solutions: o Your solution works on Tiger and later only: You can use a custom conclusion/summary text (you can even add a drawing to make things clearer). o You launch a helper app at the end of the installation from the postflight script. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
