Chris,
I placed the comments in to hilight the use of the operator. In the
actual script, these comments are not present.
Interestingly, I'm hearing that the same problem happens for the
"file" SpecType, but if I use a SpecType of "gestalt", things works
and the appropriate script is not selected.

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
