    TOMIS  Dear developers, please just put your entire application in a proper .app package ZIP'd up. If you need to instal support files, do that on first-run.

    If, for some crazy reason, you absolutely can not get around the need for an installer, then grab Apple's Xcode, instal it, and go to /Developer/Applications/Utilities/PackageMaker.app

    You can add scripts to your instal and all that niftiness, and do it using the native installer package format that users expect and trust.

    G.  These installer builders are just not needed on the Mac plattform. Either go with the system installer or, for normal application, use Drag&Drop install.

    So, this application is just plain useless.

    BITROCK  That's not correct. It depends on the type of the application. We have a lot of customers who use InstallBuilder to walk users through complex installation scenarios, with the advantage that the code to do so is shared for the most part between their Linux, Windows and Mac installer. As an example of a Mac installer you can check out the SugarCRM one:

    http://www.sugarforge.org/projects/sugarinstaller/

    It installs MySQL, Apache and PHP and configures it on the fly. To do this, it needs to check for potential port conflicts, ask the user for the appropriate passwords, etc.

    Cheers
