Current User or Computer Installation. (PackageMaker)
site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: Installer-dev@lists.apple.com Hello, I am using leopard PackageMaker.app 3.0.1.

I've looked into the list's archive but so far I didn't find something that satisfies my criteria of installation and how to achieve it. I hope I didn't choose bad search parameters to research that in the list. Also I present my apologies in advance if the question has been answered previously. In that case I'd appreciate it if you post a link for that post. I've packaged an installation to be installed by an administrator for all users in the /Library folder. That is a very easy and intuitive setup. I must commend the engineers developing Packagemaker for that. I even quit the application of concern and restarted it during the installation process. That was easy too. Though, I wish if there was an action that would prompt the user for accepting the quit action at the time of the installation. However, I got stuck when I was trying to grant the user to choose between current account Library installation and root Library installation. I did use "$HOME/Library" and it installs in the root directory alright, but under a directory called, well you've guessed it, /$HOME/Library. I used the "~" and the same thing happened. Of course, the current user doesn't need administrator password to install in his directory, but I read that this is a glitch that will be fixed. So, is there an easy way to do such setup? Or do I have to go the preflight/postflight route with all the shell scripts? This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
