Install does not complete cleanly from terminal #26

Hello. When installing RWTS-PDFwriter from terminal (sudo installer -pkg RWTS-PDFwriter.pkg -target /) the application installs but terminal hangs until killed. This started with v2.0.1.

In the sudo environment, the sandboxed Utility doesn’t have access to launch with access to the original users current working directory.

When the Utility launches as part of the install process, you will be unable to create a save destination for the user at this point.

However, your “installer hangs” issue is due to the fact that you haven’t quit the Utility. Quiting the Utility will cause the installer to close.

I hadn’t thought about anyone wanting to install from the command line. The next version will detect if this case and skip the open the Utility step.
