This discussion is veering off into installer-dev territory, but if your app needs an installation script (that is, it can't be installed with a simple drag-install), and I need to deploy it to my workstations, I will seriously consider not buying your application if I cannot drop a .pkg into Remote Desktop or System Image Utility, opening it in PackageMaker along the way to make whatever tweaks I want or need. I spent far too many hours moving from machine to machine installing Adobe products that I actively lobbied against upgrading. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
