Hello,
I'm trying to make a package to install my software - it has three
components which all need to be in different places so using the
installer is probably a good idea. I've made the package so that it
installs all three components into /Applications and then moves two
of them elsewhere with a post install script.
However, whether or not I include the script, if I make it so that it
doesn't need authorisation the installer puts everything in
/Applications and then complains that it couldn't set file attributes.
If I make it so it does require authorisation, and I have 'Use
Usermask' on, the install goes perfectly, everything is put in its
correct place, but the items are all owned by root. My understanding
is that 'Use Usermask' is supposed to make the files owned by whoever
authenticated. Why doesn't it?
I can't see anything wrong with what I'm doing... maybe it's some
subtle permissions thing which I'm not seeing. Any ideas?
