Installing to Users ~/Application Support

Open ian-barber opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

I have followed everything I can find on how to install to ~/Application Support but everythine I run the installer, it always installs into /Application Support I am using Version: version 1.2.11 (735) and OSX Ventura

Has anyone managed to install into the ~/Applications Support folder ?

I had to implement a postscript to move items from a temporary folder to the Application Support folder within user. That seems to be the only way to accomplish this.

@GoranRista Do you have an example of the postscript

make sure you set to install in the user scope

I tried that. From what I read, this is an Apple bug and the only solution is to use a postscript to move items from a temporary folder to the Application Support folder within user but I am struggling to find an example of a working script
