Within our Metapackage, we have a package that we want to be installed within the users "home" folder . . . such as /users/username. Since that folder name will depend on who the current user is, we must use a relative path for the destination . . . such as "~/". But there doesn't seem to be a way to insert such a location as the default path or as the relative path. If we have to use the Chooser, we are limited to the existing folders. What are we missing? In PackageMaker, you can set the default location to be ~/ but it's not going to work with Installer.app. - using a relocatable package, not asking for any authentication permissions and letting the user select his/her home folder - installing stuff in /tmp/ and then copying them back to the $HOME folder via a postflight script (since the script is run with the current user id, there's hope $HOME points to the correct folder).
