I'm looking for a PackageMaker plug-in that would show a panel after installation was complete that had a checkbox that said something like:

[X] Show ReadMe

When checked and the user clicks "Continue", it would open a URL that is specified during package creation (or the URL specified in a file included in the Resources folder).

Has something like this already been written?

This is pretty easy.

AFAIK, you just need to overwrite - (void)willExitPane: (InstallerSectionDirection)dir; and deal with the InstallerDirectionForward direction.

To illustrate the "pretty" easy statement, I have put up a small project that does this. In case, a 3rd party tool is used to create the package, there's also a simple project for this tool included in the archive.

Thank you very much for the example, Stéphane. It's definitely helpful. One thing I noticed with the "TestPlugin.pkg" is that because it has the additional plug-in present, you get a warning when you double-click the package that says "This package contains a program that determines if the software can be installed. Are you sure you want to continue?" I've seen then when you include an InstallationCheck or VolumeCheck script, but I was surprised to see the warning just because a plugin was present. Is there any way to avoid that extra warning or is it just another alert users will have to deal with? _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
