Re: Installer plugins on 10.3
site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com It's a free tool, give me a break with your whining. It's Apple's way of helping you and your users to say goodbye to 10.3. -Andy On Jul 24, 2007, at 1:17 AM, Mike wrote: Mike _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

Installer plugins is a poorly documented feature but if you had looked a the one and only sample from Apple ("Plugins are only supported in Mac OS X Tiger (v10.4) and later.") or searched through the mailing list you would've realized this. I did. So in other words, a separate installer solution such as VISE or InstallerMaker is a quicker solution if one already has an elaborate installer for 10.4 using Packagemaker and lots of custom plugins. Thanks Apple - make me build two separate installers for my product in order to support both 10.3 & 10.4 - that's very nice of you. Next product I'll write my own installer from scratch that supports both. What junk Apple is shipping these days.

In 10.3, you can add custom code at InstallationCheck, VolumeCheck, pre- and post-flight script phases. You cannot add more installation panels/pages without doing something really unpleasant such as overriding ObjectiveC code. This has nothing to do with PackageMaker itself. It's just that the Installer.app in 10.3 does not support as much stuff as it does in 10.4. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
