Steven, et al,

I'm looking for any documentation that might exist on the Python-based installation utility that is native with OS4.1, specifically, I'd like to be able to specify different destinations for different packages of software. I'm also interested in what 'pages' are available by default beyond WELCOME, LICENSE, DESTINATION, INSTALL, etc.

Thanks in advance!

I always intended to write documentation for it but never got around to actually doing so. I'll look around what kind of notes I still have lying around on my disk from way back when I wrote that thing, but it isn't going to be much (I think there should be some doxygen documentation in the source). In the meantime, I would recommend checking the existing scripts. I usually added page types as I needed them, so they should all be referenced somewhere.

Many thanks! I've been using the update scripts as a guide up until now.

By the way, is the source for the Installation Utility available in the SDK? I haven't been able to find it; does anyone know the path?
