site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com Hi, All, Is running a separate application from e.g. preflight the only way to get user input during the install process? This seems like a common need that Installer could handle, but I've not found any other way. This post: http://lists.apple.com/archives/installer-dev/2005/Feb/msg00002.html seems to imply that launching an app is the only way. My application is the client for a client-server application, and I need to tell it which server to connect to. I worked out an obscure way to do this using a Terminal window and shell script, from preflight, but it looks like Tiger breaks what I am doing. A cocoa app to ask the question would look better anyway, but it just seems like overkill to have an entire application that ships in my install just to ask one little question and to get the result into a file (or an environment variable would probably do) so that postflight has it available for configuring the client app. Thanks in advance for any help/advice/suggestions! == dj _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
