How to add into Info.plist (MacOS x) add custom key values

[vakbijevs]

We want to add custom key in this file, but this is not a an JVM key, how we can add it?

For example
key -> LSUIElement
string->1

Hi,

Currently AI does not offer directly support to add key in the Info.plist file. But we add this on our TODO list and will be available in a future version of AI. Thank you for your suggestion.

Until then you need to manually modify that file. After you build the MacOs X package open the created .zip archive and add that key manually in the Info.plist file.

Best Regards,
Gigi

OK, but if we try modify zip file, we lose execution flag/bit on JavaApplicationStab file. Can you provide an solution?

Best way to have possible add n key`s via some form (for example "MacOS X" tab -> "Custom key" list + add, remove, edit buttons)

P.S. any ETA for next AI version?

You should use an archiving tool that is able to extract/add individual files from/to the ZIP archive.

Extract the "Info.plist" file from the ZIP archive, modify it with a text editor as necessary and save it as UTF-8, then add the modified file to the archive overwriting the existing "Info.plist" file.

Works for manual builds (WinZIP, PowerArchiver) only! But doesn't work for automated builds (command line scripts, ant and java). Do you know an commant line ZIPer with options add file and add folders info?

So, when we can get new AI version with requested feature?

You can try with 7-Zip.

This feature is scheduled for 4.7 release of Advanced Installer.

Hi,

Just wondering whether this feature has been included in the current version (6.1.1)? I can't find it in any of the documentation, but perhaps I'm not looking in the right place?

(I'm trying to add a <key>WorkingDirectory</key><string>...</string>).

Many thanks,
Dave.

Hi,

The necessary keys are generated automatically when using the "No Dock icon and no Menu Bar interaction" option in the "MAC OS X" tab of the Java Product:
http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-g ... s-tab.html

However, if you need to add custom keys then the only solution is to extract the "Info.plist" file from the ZIP archive, modify it with a text editor as necessary and save it as UTF-8. After this you add the modified file to the archive overwriting the existing "Info.plist" file.

I understand, I just read your response above as meaning that you were implementing the ability to set custom keys in version 4.7. Not to worry, I'll include it as part of my build process, it's just a bit of a nuisance, that's all.

How can one run mac OS 9 under windows xp? I've got a bunch of old cds for mac OS 9 that I'd like to run under xp. Firstly, Is there a stand alone OS 9 emulator for xp? Secondly, I've also got a copy of OS 9 as well as a copy of vmware workstation. Is it possible to run 9 from vmware?
