Installer Choices file not automatically added to cached file

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Running InstaDMG with or without a cached file.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The expected output is Installing system from: 
/private/tmp/idmg.6vay/idmg_temp.nr7Bmu onto image at: /tmp/idmg_mp.Rqk8 using 
InstallerChoices file: /new/instadmg/Caches/BaseImageCache/InstallerChoices.xml 
and language code: en

But that is if you hard code " 
OS_INSTALL_CHOICES_FILE='/new/instadmg/Caches/BaseImageCache/InstallerChoices.xm
l'          # Location of installer choices file for the BaseOS " into the 
instadmg.bash file. 

What I see instead  " Looking for a Cached Image ######
    Mounting the shadow file (/private/tmp/idmg.06BD/01A3E848-61A5-425D-A682-34920C428482.shadowfile) onto the cached image (./Caches/BaseImageCache/C7A1A3D5.dmg)
    Target OS: Mac OS X 10.6 (10A432) " Its basically using just using with cached image that doesn't include installerchoices. 

What version of InstaDMG are you running? What revision number (this should
be the second line of your package log)?

InstaDMG version 1.6rc1 (svn revision: 388)

What OS are you running on (booted from)?

Host OS: Mac OS X 10.6.4

What OS are you installing?

Mac OS X 10.6.5

Hey there,
Please post to the afp548 forum first in the future, as there are many there 
who could assist you.
Please let me know if you're running it manually or via instaUp2Date.  If using 
instaUp2Date, you need to refer to the installer choices file at the beginning 
of the catalog file.  I cannot consider it a defect as of yet if you're not 
getting it to work with instaUp2Date, as this is a new design choice(although 
not documented well enough, admittedly).  Thanks,

Allister

I'm using this command sudo ./instadmg/AddOns/InstaUp2Date/instaUp2Date.py 
10.6_vanilla --process.

Hey Mr. Nadauld,

Did Nate's response on the MacEnterprise mailing list make sense?  I will be 
altering the wiki to make it clearer(and represent the current state of 
applying installerChoices from within instaup2date - you can only apply it to 
the OS install itself, and other mpkg's cannot be altered as far as I 
understand), but it really does say how to get the choices applied from within 
a catalog file.

Please allow me to consider this issue invalid, as it is the documented 
behavior, and only used to work in previous versions.
