Hi, I'm using Apple's PackageMaker to deploy our software but one of the requirements of that software is a third-party driver which was given to us by the developer also as a package. Now while we could simply dump this on the user's desktop and ask them to run this, I was wondering how one can easily launch one package from within another and if possible, ensure it's successful completion to let us know if the rest of the install should continue.
Part of me wants to just slap our and their installer packages on a DMG and let the users have at it, but that's not what my customer wants, so that aside, thoughts?
Do I simply copy the file to the desktop the shell out to it? Can I shell out to it from within the original package (say through a temp folder or something?)
All comments welcome.
