Hi Emi, Which script are you referring to? The original install.sh or the install-custom.sh?
I have not looked at either in a while but I think we had some nice contributions one of which may have addressed the issue to which I think you might be referring. Having said that, I agree that it would be nice to have something like what an end user might expect. I don't recall all the issues with the pkg vs. dmg but I do think such a solution would be much nicer. Still, willing to help.
