Hello,

I'm fairly new to PackageMaker and would therefore like to hear your suggestions how to approach a following task. I need to install exactly same contents to several different locations. Contents is a plugin and locations are host applications. I tried using choices (each with the same contents) for that but it seems that each choice increases size of the installer. Of course I would prefer to reuse the contents instead of duplicating it inside the installer.

So there must be a better way of doing this.

Assuming you trust the end-user not to change anything (which is a wrong assumption IMHO), the following solution could work but it requires to edit the distribution script. If your package is relocatable, you can probably just use the same reference to this package for each choice and set the customLocation attribute of the choice to the specific location of the choice. I haven't tested that. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
