Hello Stephane,

thanks for giving the reason, why it's not possible. The idea was to display some information to the user, after the installation was done (like where he could look for updates when he installed from a potentially old dvd-medium). Showing that information before the installation seems too early, and showing it before the user got the message that the medium-installation succeeded also seems not optimal (but might be ok...).

You can use a custom (and localized) Summary text. So this may fit your needs. RTF(d), TXT or HTML.

Another thing I maybe need in the future is to have an "always up to date" installer and I was thinking how to do it with the standard installer. A "self-made" approach could be to have an installer plugin that downloads and installs the latest patch directly after the installation of the version from the medium. But maybe that's a bad idea (starting an installation at the end of another installation is probably hard to make intuitive for the user).

With distributions, it's possible to have a package be hosted on a http server and just have a reference to it in the distribution script. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
