Re: Why is my installer not installing files



This could be the usual relocate by default issue of PackageMaker if you are installing a bundle.

Check the Components pane of your packages or check the list archives.

I have a question about running the installer in 10.6.4. What are the possible reasons why running the installer via command line returns success even though it did not install any of the files or it would partially install some files. I am creating and installing an mpkg file.


Note that I don't see this happening everytime I test the installer. The steps I do is run my uninstaller tool which deletes files and also removes receipts files, then I run the installer. These steps are successful in installing the files correctly for the first few attempts, but then it will fail sometimes to install the files but still return success.



I have the install log files available by request.

Can someone please shed some light on this.
