Need to alert user from install script in metapackage
site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com Hi All, I hope I am not posting too many questions. We are close to getting a metapackage done, but we have a problem... I have written InstallationCheck scripts for both of my sub-components, and they are able to determine whether a newer version is already installed and return a failure code. The problem is, if the installed versions of both sub-components are newer, the user is left with an Installer.app window with the "Install" button grayed-out and no good message. The only way to know why this is happening (other than looking in the system log) is to go to "Customize" and hover the mouse over the grayed-out entries in the list. What I would like to do is: 1. Communicate the result of each sub-component's InstallationCheck to the metapackage preflight script. 2. Show an alert message to the user from the metapackage preflight script. Is it possible to do either one of these? Thanks again, Monte Benaresh PACE Anti-Piracy _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
