Installer-dev mailing list (Installer-dev@lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/installer-dev/site_archiver%40lists.a... I need to copy some files into the application bundle which will replace some files installed by my installer. I wrote an installer plugin to do the work and the files are being put into the installer bundle on the server before the installer is downloaded by the customer. When the customer runs the installer, it goes through the normal install process and then runs my installer plugin which is supposed to copy files over from the installer bundle to the application bundle. Installer.app runs with the current user id. It doesn't matter if you ask for root authentication or admin authentication. Therefore if you need to change the contents of a root:admin 775 application, you need to belong to the admin group. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
