I have support files for my application that need to be installed in the user home /Library/Application Support/ directory. What's the best/preferred way of installing files into directories in the users home folder? Thanks in advance.

Choose your flavor: - just don't do it if you are installing your application in /Applications. . If you are installing your application in /Application, why not install the support files in /Library/Application Support. . If you still go that way, maybe the easiest solution is to have 2 packages. One which installs the application and that requires Admin/Root privileges. One which does not require privileges, search the archive for some tip on how to do this. Eventually the first package could "install" the raw package in /Users/Shared so that any user can access it if needed. - if you are installing your applications in $HOME/Applications, search the archive for the tip explaining showing how to install stuff in $/HOME without using the relocatable attribute.
