Hi, Is there any way of finding out the list of arguments passed to the installer command in postinstall/preinstall? For example my intention is that by any way can we detect the filename which is given with -applyChoiceChangesXML while running the installer in CLI in the postinstall/preinstall scripts? installer -pkg abc.pkg -applyChoiceChangesXML choicesfile -target / Here inside abc.pkg which has its own postinstall and preinstall scripts can we get the "choicesfile" file name?

Assuming we are talking about a flat distribution for abc.pkg. abc.pkg does not have a preinstall or postinstall script. It's actually an invisible package of the distribution that contains these scripts. I would say that if you need to perform actions based on a package being installed or not, it's better to have your own invisible package and its selected state dependent of the other package(s'|'s) selected state(s).
