[Q] Can I remove some of the Installation steps by playing with the contents of the InstallerSections.plist file?

• No. This would lead to undesired results.

[Q] How can I find the path of the package?

• A possible solution is listed below. Please keep in mind, this uses some undocumented classes of Installer.app and this should not prevent you from filing an enhancement request to Apple.

#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
#import <InstallerPlugins/InstallerPlugins.h>

@interface HowToMakeAnAppleEngineerScream : InstallerPane
{
}

@end

#import "HowToMakeAnAppleEngineerScream.h"

@interface PageController : NSObject
{
}

- (id) distribution;

@end

@interface IFDocument : NSObject
{
}

- (id) path;

@end



@implementation HowToMakeAnAppleEngineerScream

- (NSString *) title
{
    return [[NSBundle bundleForClass:[self class]] localizedStringForKey:@"PaneTitle" value:nil table:nil];
}

- (void) didEnterPane:(InstallerSectionDirection) inDirection
{
    NSWindow * tWindow;
    PageController * tPageController;

    tWindow=[NSApp keyWindow];	// This should be improved IMHO

    tPageController=(PageController *) [tWindow delegate];

    if (tPageController!=nil)
    {
        NSLog(@"This is the package path: %@",[[tPageController distribution] path]);
    }
}

@end
