Re: Package install problems
site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com Peter, Chris Hello installer-dev, My installer is now set up as follows: Install English.mpkg and Install Deutsch.mpkg in the root of the CD. A hidden folder .Install containing: common.pkg, en.pkg and de.pkg Install English.mpkg refers to common.pkg and en.pkg Install Deutsch.mpkg refers to common.pkg and de.pkg The problem is, the .pkg files don't seem to obey the mpkg's default location, which is /Applications for Install English. This means the game ends up being installed to / if the user doesn't explicitly select somewhere to install it. What am I doing wrong here ? I can't hard-code a default location of /Applications in the pkg files, as this default location would be different on the German install. I made sure there was no default location specified in the pkg's Info.plist files, but this still happens. Any suggestions? -- Best regards, Peter mailto:darkmatter@freeuk.com _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

I am not really sure what you mean about hard coding the default location. Your best bet is to make the commong.pkg and en.pkg relocatable and have the same default location (/Applications). The en.pkg would contain ./SomeApp.app/Contents/Resources/en.lproj or whatever. By default when the user installs, both common.pkg and en.pkg will install into /Applications. If the user chooses a different location, they will both inherit the same location. As for en.pkg and de.pkg having the same default location. I am not sure why this is a problem. /Applications is named as such on all machines, it is just that the name is localized in Finder and open dialogs to be in German. Hopefully that clears things up. If not i would be happy helping you out more. _______________________________________________ This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
