macOS Adding an App with an Installer to an Apple Install Package

[WannaGoMac]

I am trying to use Apple Package maker to do two things:

1) Installs 2 files to a certain file location on the mac

2) Runs a vendor's application which has its own installer. I did an Info on it and it says it was made by Install Anywhere Authenticator (a part of InstallAywhere 8.0)

I got Step 1 done easily. But can't figure out how to do #2. I tried using the wizard and just dragged the App installer into the Package but that causes the Apple Package maker to crash.

How do I get the Apple Package to first install my two files, and then execute the installer for the vendors application?

Thanks!

Create a postflight script that launches the installer.

Do I use Automater to do that?

Also, can I bundle the Apps installer file into the Apple PackageMaker file so it won't confuse users?

Check out this page, it talks about the postflight script:

Thanks, i had found this.

Way too much effort. I will just zip the two installers into a single archive, and instruct users to install both apps.



Thanks!
