ok i have converted my scripts over to applescript stuff. and have
added them to the .pkg for installation. now however they do not run,
either as application bundles, applications, scripts. are you using
the packageMaker app to bundle up your distributions?

So far as I know, it could be perl, shell, applescript or
application. If I'm breaking the rules so to speak I'm not aware
of it and besides that, it just works and works well. I don't ever
run as root when I'm programming (except through Terminal). This
way I don't get surprised, especially with scripts that want some
kind of authentication (they will automatically ask for it if the
user is not admin level or above). HTH.

I thought that any script that the installer runs has to be a perl
or shell script. can it be an applescript application/application
bundle? if that is the case perhaps this will work however i am
running as root (could be my big problem)
thanks,

Hi Ken:
I have no trouble creating aliases on Tiger. The one I use is
much different from what you have here. This is what I use.
This particular one creates an alias of a folder XYZ Folder from
Macintosh HD/Users/Shared to Applications. If the alias is a
file, just change "If exists folder" to "If exists file". This
script works perfect for me. I save it as an application with
the name "postflight". HTH.
