Is there something I can include in my installer so the user is not required to find their install disks? Can I include X11 in my installer?

Maybe the easiest way is to use an InstallationCheck, first look for the availability of the X11/R6 stuff in /something, then you could look for the existence of X11 in /Applications but since it has been moved, this may be more tricky and require a secondary tool using LaunchServices API to locate the X11 application. -- Stephane Sudre Are any samples available? I'm not sure how to do this and would love to examine something that already does something similar. Apple makes this available separately from the install discs. You can put in a requirement check that will prevent your software from being installed if X11 is not installed on the system. In your error message, you can redirect the user to Apple's web-page to download the X11 package (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/x11formacosx.html ). Tell them to install that, then to install your software. This email sent to luke@apple.com _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
