We have been trying to modify this string for some time and have no success so far. Thanks, William -----Original Message----- From: installer-dev-bounces+william.smith=radialpoint.com@lists.apple.com [mailto:installer-dev-bounces+william.smith=radialpoint.com@lists.apple.com] On Behalf Of Bill Coderre Sent: Friday, July 17, 2009 4:09 PM To: Kevin Brock Cc: installer-dev@lists.apple.com Subject: Re: Installation progress messages For bundle packages, and flat distribution archives, inside each package is a bunch of language lprojs, and in there is a file called Description.plist. The key "IFPkgDescriptionTitle" is displayed by the installer. On Jul 17, 2009, at 11:46 AM, Kevin Brock wrote:

I'm looking for ways to customize the installation progress messages--the "Installing xxx" messages that show up during actual package installation.

The default is to use the last part of the package identifier. This isn't always what we want, and it'd be great if we could change the whole message in some cases. For example we have a scripts-only target which should probably say something like "Preparing for installation", rather than "Installing pre-install"

I didn't run across anything in the official documents, but then that's often the case, even for things which are doable.

I'd really appreciate any suggestions on this.

Kevin
