Hi Stephane, Thanks for your suggestions. Following are your two statements. - they do not include any chrome (no welcome, read me, EULA, background picture) - they do not let you specify installation requirements.
This means that in flat package installers, I cannot show the EULA (End user License agreement), Background image for the installer and Installation checks (such as the checking the OS version for installing the package)?
No, you can not.
You have to wrap the package around a distribution script for that.
And just to clarify, *yes* a flat package installer can show EULAs and have installation checks. What's commonly referred to as an "installer" or "package" is typically a *distribution*, which contains *payloads* in the form of *packages*. Bundle style distributions typically use .mpkg as the extension, while flat distributions use .pkg, just like packages. -- Per Olofsson, IT-service, University of Gothenburg _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
