[Lazarus] RE : Determining OS

[Eduardo]

Yes, you are definily doing it wrong.
You shouldn't even have a installer for Linux. Programs in Linux with 
installers are just weird... Let the package manager do what a installer 
would do for you (you can have custom scripts in the package manager if 
that's strictly necessary, but it shouldn't).

On Mac, the most elegant install solution IMHO is to simply copy the 
Application Bundle to the /Applications folder and that is it. No 
install necessary, any configuration necessary is created the first time 
the application runs.
But if you really must have a installer for MacOSX I recommend creating 
a package for MacOSX default installer application. Again you just 
package everything with a few scripts and that is it.

Badilly written custom installer applications is a Windows thing and I'm 
happy that I don't need to bother with them anymore...
