For example, in one project, for which I wrote an installer, the installed software is basically a UNIX daemon + additional supporting files. But it also needs an Installer Plugin for entering the license number (it is commercial software) and choosing some options which would be very awkward to do at any other point in time or through any other method.
Why not simply make a small program that pops up a dialog for the user to enter the code, and then run this in your installers Postflight script ? That will work on 10.3 and earlier as well, then. It's probably easier than writing an Installer Plugin too (trivial with NIB files for the GUI) -- Best regards, Peter mailto:darkmatter@blueyonder.co.uk _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
