Let's say my plugin is called Register.bundle and it is kept within MyInstaller.pkg/Contents/Plugins/. I also have a file that I need access to from the plugin and postinstal. The file is stored in MyInstaller.pkg/Contents/Resources/MyFile

From my installer plugin code, I can do registerBundlePath should be set to /Users/wwibowo/ MyInstaller.pkg/Contents/Plugins/Register.bundle, and myFilePath should be set to /Users/wwibowo/MyInstaller.pkg/ Contents/Resources/MyFile This is all good if the installer is located on local drive (boot volume or partition). However if I have the installer on a mounted disk image or on USB key, the installer bundle seems to be moved out of the .pkg file. What I am getting instead is registerBundlePath = /tmp/com.apple.installerulrZkLhr/ Register.bundle range = {NSNotFound, 0} I know PACKAGE_PATH holds the path to the package, unfortunately it is only available in postinstall. Is there another environment variable, or a way to get the package's path from plugin and postinstall? I wonder if installing from network drive or read-only media (CD, DVD) produce different behavior with regards to the plugin being detached from the installer, and if so, how would I know the installer's path.

That works! Thanks for your help. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
