Yes, this can be done using a Search Method (or many). My test case is for an Acrobat Reader Plugin and it looks like this: The files to install are in Plug-Ins. There are 2 Search Methods attached to the Acrobat Reader "folder" CommonAppSearch Identifier: com.adobe.acrobat.reader Default Path: /Applications/Acrobat Reader LaunchServicesLookup Identifier: com.adobe.acrobat.reader Creator: CARO Maybe there's a better way to do this now. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

Read the PackageMaker app help, it is much better in recent versions. As with so many responses posted to problems on this list, the answers to this question start from the wrong direction. Instead of suggesting that someone write some nasty script hack or even try an installer plugin (which won't work in ARD or silent install contexts), we should be encouraging new users to learn and use the basic existing features of the tool. Root --+-- Applications --+-- Acrobat Reader --+-- Contents --+-- MacOS --+-- Plug-Ins AFAIK, the only issue is when the application is not installed. Because the plug-in is going to be installed anyway (to the default path). To prevent that you would need to check for the presence of Adobe products in InstallationCheck or VolumeCheck and so you would end up doing the same job twice (the second time is less easy).
