Hello,
I use the following requirements dictionary in
my installer. This has worked fine for all of
my users so far as well as my testing. I have
one user that says he's using 10.4, but that
the message in this requirements dictionary is
being displayed and preventing him from
installing. He even sent a screenshot. I asked
him to confirm his version of the OS by
selecting "About this Mac" from the Apple menu
and he told me it said 10.4.
I have no idea what to tell him. Is there
anything wrong with the requirements dictionary
below? I'm not sure what to tell him.
AFAIk, the plist SpecType is ran against every
Volume. So maybe the user has multiple
partitions and the message is being displayed
when he's trying to select a partition which
does not have Tiger or later installed on it.
Other ideas include:
- /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist is missing
- /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist permissions are wrong
Thanks for your response. I confirmed that the
customer only has one volume. He even sent me a
screenshot. I'm thinking of sending him a
installer without the requirements dictionary.
I'm afraid that having the requirement may
prevent other users from installing and buying my
software. Perhaps, I should remove the
requirements dictionary from my installer
entirely. Is it hurting more than helping? What
do you think?
I really wish that the PackageMaker application
had a simple interface to specify at least the
minimum OS version and that it worked reliably.
The installer should be a developer's friend. It
took a while to figure out how to add this
requirements dictionary and the only thing it
seems to have accomplished is to prevent
potential customers from installing my demo
software.
Chuck
