[TYPO3-dev] Executing code when extension is installed

[Michael Knoll]

Hi Xavier,

as I don't want the user to execute an UPDATE! operation, a Hook would 
be the thing I'm looking for... but I don't know where to start 
searching... should be in the EM-Code - hm?

Could you tell me, where to start searching for it?

Greetings

Michael
