Re: how a single product will install to different locations
site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com - look for the locations of possibly multiple Photoshop installation - request admin authentication - for each selected destination: Initial impression is that this sounds like it will work. You should use a flat package if you need the new flat-package features. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

In the case described, if we omit installations from Terminal or ARD, a solution could be to write a helper app that would: - present the list to the user (checkboxes to select where to install it) 1. Modify the default location to the appropriate one within the package (good luck with a FLAT package) 2. install the package through the installer command line tool. (Yeah, progression would not be displayed but it does prevent you to display an indeterminate progress bar in the helper app). I just want to mention that there is no requirement you use a flat package for 10.5.x. It is quite happy to install a 10.4 or 10.3 package. In addition, you COULD use pkgutil to expand and flatten the package, if you're really into it. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
