HISE made Plugin Installer

[resonant]

Has anyone created an HISE-made installer that installs VST3, AU, and AAX files into system folders?

How do you handle the permissions when doing this on macOS?

@resonant Rhapsody used to include an installer for plugins, but you had to install Rhapsody first using a conventional installer. Not sure how you would avoid it.

@resonant I wouldn't use HISE to build a simple installer for VST3/AU/AXX.

Package Builder by Araelium and Packages by WhiteBox can both do this very easily with native macOS windows and controls.

I think I’ve seen a few users (maybe @Lindon @ustk @orange) try this before; I’d really like to know what the risks are or what needs to be done.

@resonant I'll also add, if you want to build a plugin manager like Arturia Software Centre or UVI Portal, that would be an interesting HISE project.

But for a straight up single-product VST3/AU/AAX installer, I'd go with Package Builder or Packages.
