Is there any format other than DMG that will automatically open when safari has downloaded it? Whenever someone downloads our installer, we need to (on the server) insert a unique identifier somewhere into the installer. Then, during the installation, we use this unique suffix when making requests to another web service. My application is packaged as a PKG (not a "flat-file" - I was considering just renaming the downloaded file server-side and checking it during install) and now I am wondering how to do this... How does one normally embed some kind of unique identifier into each installer? My server is running linux, so the solution would have to work there.... Since your package can only be download if it's archived or inside a disk image, in all cases, you will need to have some processing being done. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
