Capabilities for the installer itself

Capabilities for the installer itself
Wed, 4 Oct 2006 15:51:05 +0530
Hi,

    Who defines the capabilities for the installer itself ?
    I need my installer (which contents only data files) to extract files to
a application's private location. //private/<sid>

    So who needs the "Allfiles capabilities", the installer or the
data
files ...

Thx,
Anand

The installer has the capabilities needed, but it will only install the 
files if the packages UID matches the <sid> in the filepath. If you need 
to add datafiles to your app from a separate sis-file (for example for 
skinning), you should use the folder //private/<sid>/import.
