Installer-dev mailing list (Installer-dev@lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/installer-dev/site_archiver%40lists.a... in the installer project i'm looking at, there are two items which are both applications installed into /Applications. i would check the box for one of them and not the other. i'm just being flippant about the one checkbox thing, but IMHO this would be a good area for the Installer to help out. some applications can legitimately need to start at login, and all the solutions proposed here have drawbacks - from messing up a previously good loginwindow.plist, to having something start at launch for a user who didn't install the application.

I agree that PackageMaker could help, but I'm not convinced it would be and easy addition to PackageMaker, or that Apple should encourage developers to easily add things to the LoginItems. I have enough things launching at login that I didn't ask for... all this could have been avoided by a checkbox in PackageMaker. then the Installer could ask the user whether it's OK to do it, etc. this is a simple requirement that has been massively overcomplicated -- IMHO.
