Rich,
Your comments in the Info.plist are not legal xml comments. Because
of this, the Installer is not reading the Info.plist correctly and it
is ignoring the IFRequirements.
The Installer should not let you open these packages at all, but that
is another issue.
If you want to put a comment in the xml plist file, you can do
something like:
<!-- NOTE LESS THAN OPERATOR -->
Anyways, removing the comment will give you the correct behavior.

I have a metapackage which has 2 packages. Each package has an
IFRequirementDicts script.
In one package I check for the presence of XCode 1.2 (really less
than 2.0)
<key>IFRequirementDicts</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>Level</key>
<string>requires</string>
<key>SpecType</key>
<string>bundle</string>
<key>SpecArgument</key>
<string>/Developer/Applications/Xcode.app</
string>
<key>SpecProperty</key>
<string>CFBundleVersion</string>
<key>TestOperator</key>
<string><</string> // NOTE LESS THAN
OPERATOR
<key>TestObject</key>
<string>500</string>
</dict>
</array>
In the other, I check that the version of XCode is 2.0.
<key>IFRequirementDicts</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>Level</key>
<string>requires</string>
<key>SpecType</key>
<string>bundle</string>
<key>SpecArgument</key>
<string>/Developer/Applications/Xcode.app</
string>
<key>SpecProperty</key>
<string>CFBundleVersion</string>
<key>TestOperator</key>
<string>>=</string> // NOTE Greater
than/equal
<key>TestObject</key>
<string>500</string>
</dict>
</array>
When I run this metapackage under OS X 10.4.1, both packages are
selectable. Is there a better way to do this, other than using a
Distribution Script.
thanks
