For bundle packages, and flat distribution archives, inside each package is a bunch of language lprojs, and in there is a file called Description.plist. The key "IFPkgDescriptionTitle" is displayed by the installer. As far as I know, there is no Description.plist file for flat packages because the localized title is defined by the description script and the Localized.strings file. Just out of curiosity, I tried adding a localized Description.plist file to a flat packages. As far as I can tell, it's not taken into account by Installer.app. I haven't tried to verify if the localized choice title is used during the installation but it would make no sense considering that a leaf choice can contains multiple packages. Anyway, it wouldn't change the whole string, just the part after "Installing" because the template string is "Installing %@" as it looks like to be defined in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ Install.framework/Versions/A/Resources/English.lproj/ StatusStrings.strings On Jul 17, 2009, at 11:46 AM, Kevin Brock wrote: I'm looking for ways to customize the installation progress messages--the "Installing xxx" messages that show up during actual package installation. The default is to use the last part of the package identifier. This isn't always what we want, and it'd be great if we could change the whole message in some cases. For example we have a scripts-only target which should probably say something like "Preparing for installation", rather than "Installing pre-install" I didn't run across anything in the official documents, but then that's often the case, even for things which are doable. I'd really appreciate any suggestions on this. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
