Hi,
For several years I have used PackageMaker to create a .pkg file for installing a file that my application needs into the
/Library/Application Support/My Company Name
folder.
i.e. first the installer creates the "My Company Name" folder (if it's not already there)
then it installs the file (which is part of the copy protections scheme, so it can't go into the application bundle)
This has always worked fine for customers running OS X 10.2 and 10.3
but starting with OS X 10.4 it fails with the following messages:
First:
"Installing this software will replace the newer version with an older version."
Then:
"You cannot continue. There is nothing to install".
Both messages are wrong and it works OK on my development machine
but not on most of my customers machines.
My other .pkg file for installing the main application into the /Applications folder works fine under OS X 10.4
My only clue is that it's a file permission thing that have changed with Tiger.
I've read the online docs about PackageMaker to no avail.
Any help appreciated.
Rolf Nilsson
