I am using packagemaker 3.0.3 to build an installer. I need to install a folder and a font. Users of my installer may not have admin privileges. If they do not, I would like them to be able to install our folder into their home folder (~), and the font into into their ~/Library/Fonts folder. Otherwise, we should install into /Applications and /Library/Fonts respectively. I am having two problems, perhaps because of my naivete concerning PM. The first concerns permissions: I can set up PM to allow installation "for all users" or "just this user", which sounds like what I want. But I can find no way of specifying that the admin password will be required in one case, and not in the other. If I specify "require admin password", then a user with no admin privileges is prompted for admin privileges even if they are installing into their home directory (and so can't install). On the other hand, if I do not "require admin password", then the installation fails ungracefully if the user tries to install in the system directory. The second problem is that when I install into the users home directory, the font file is placed in their home directory, rather then respecting the Library/Fonts path. Does anyone have any advice on these questions? It seems like these ought to be common things to want to do. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
