By "archived" you mean zipped... right? Is there any format other than DMG that will automatically open when safari has downloaded it? I don't know. When I read your question the first time, my first thought was "security flaws?". dmg is a good solution if you want to provide a ReadMe along with your package. Otherwise zip is a good solution. The good thing with zip file is that since most packages do not have components with resource fork, you can create your zip archive easily with your Linux server. I don't think it would be that easy to create a dmg on Linux. Whenever someone downloads our installer, we need to (on the server) insert a unique identifier somewhere into the installer. Then, during the installation, we use this unique suffix when making requests to another web service. My application is packaged as a PKG (not a "flat-file" - I was considering just renaming the downloaded file server-side and checking it during install) and now I am wondering how to do this... How does one normally embed some kind of unique identifier into each installer? My server is running linux, so the solution would have to work there.... Since your package can only be download if it's archived or inside a disk image, in all cases, you will need to have some processing being done. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Orange vous informe que cet e-mail a ete controle par l'anti-virus mail.
