Installer plugins are UI plugins whose code runs inside the Installer.app process. You can, however, have your plugins communicate with your install scripts, which do run as root. Have your plugin get the installer's session temp directory, which I think is also passed to the scripts. You can drop a cookie file in there with the data you want to pass from the plugin to your script. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
