Hi,

I have written a Plugin for PackageMaker. Is there any way to exit the installer from within the plugin? I have tried the following ways- [NSApp terminate:nil] and exit 0;

If we call any of the above from within the plugin, it closes the Installer.app but whenever I try to run any other installer right after this, it invokes the previously closed installer. So I am assuming, if I use the ways mentioned above, it just kills the Installer.app and circumvents the normal closing behavior of Installer.app (which might be cleaning some temporary directories before exiting). Is there any documented or undocumented but working way to close the Installer from my plugin (say on click of some button)?

If you are observing this on Mac OS X v10.7 and later, it's probably the restoration at work since you're quitting an application without closing the document. I would suggest closing the document and then quitting. Something like: [myWindow performClose:nil]; [NSApp terminate:nil]; _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
