Re: Installer plugins on 10.3
site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com Racist as well as stupid. That explains it. I was born and raised in the states, btw, not that it should matter. What part of "10.2 and later" don't you understand? Mike Mike On Jul 24, 2007, at 3:32 AM, Andy Kim wrote: It's a free tool, give me a break with your whining.

When will you Asians stop telling Americans who have been working on a platform for 17 years how to do our jobs? I was writing software when you were, most likely still in diapers. Let's see............ I just reread the entire Software Delivery Guide for a second time and on page 7 it says: "Software requirements: This document assumes that delivery solutions are created using Mac OS X v10.4 or later and Xcode 2.3 or later. The delivery solutions described in this document can be installed on computers running Mac OS X v10.2 and later." Regardless of whether it is a "free" utility or not is irrelevant. Xcode is free too. Next you will be telling me Apple has no responsibility to support that either? If Apple provides the tools, it is their responsibility to support them. Maybe no one should expect a crappy OS like Linux to work either just because it is "free". MXPLAY looks pretty crappy BTW. Nice flashing UI elements as I drag and resize the window. LOL.

Installer plugins is a poorly documented feature but if you had looked a the one and only sample from Apple ("Plugins are only supported in Mac OS X Tiger (v10.4) and later.") or searched through the mailing list you would've realized this. I did.

Thanks Apple - make me build two separate installers for my product in order to support both 10.3 & 10.4 - that's very nice of you. Next product I'll write my own installer from scratch that supports both. What junk Apple is shipping these days.

In 10.3, you can add custom code at InstallationCheck, VolumeCheck, pre- and post-flight script phases. You cannot add more installation panels/pages without doing something really unpleasant such as overriding ObjectiveC code. This has nothing to do with PackageMaker itself. It's just that the Installer.app in 10.3 does not support as much stuff as it does in 10.4. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
