Ok... I'm making a meta package because I can't think of another way to do it... But, I have a project that has an App for Jaguar and one for Panther. Since the Panther version cannot run in Jag. The problem is I cannot seem to get the installer app in Jag to respect the preflight file . does the preflight file need to be named: myApp.preflight or just preflight?

As described at the following URL:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/ SoftwareDistribution/index.html

the file needs to be named 'preflight'.

the jag installer app is happy to let me install software that it should be refusing to let me use
second. Is there a better way to get the installer to pick one or the other based on the os?

There would be if there was a flag in the PackageMaker format allowing to define a .pkg as optional from a VolumeCheck (or the new check mechanism) point of view.

IMHO, you should instead make 2 installers (if an installer is really needed and just drag and dropping the application is not enough). Just set a specific name or a background picture to explain which one to install.
