My users want me to make my installer offer them the choice of installing the product (which happens to be a Finder Contextual Menu plug-in) into either the global location, /Library/Contextual Menu Items/, or into their home directory, ~/Library/Contextual Menu Items/. It seems to me I've seen installers with a check box for that sort of choice, but I can't figure out how to do that in PackageMaker. Is there a way? I'm particularly concerned about how to drive the Installer UI in this; I can create scripting to put the files where I want them. I have seen the "relocatable" flag and its behavior, but it doesn't provide any guidance to the user on where to put things. It's quite important that this stuff go into the right spot, since Finder only looks in these two places. If I merely offer the users a browse button, they might put it anywhere -- and they'd be justified, since I don't seem able to give them much guidance, since I don't know how to add any text to the particular window where that button would be. I suppose I could create a meta-package, one package that goes into the global place, one into $HOME. But it would be a pain for me, and still not a very obvious UI, hidden off in the Customize panel and all. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
