So, foremost, I am interested in the general question: do Applescripts as pre/postflight scripts in installer packages not get the proper credentials passed from the package?

The postinstall executable (AppleScript, shell script, whatever) is launched via a fork/exec from a UID 0 process.

I'm not sure about how an AppleScript typically executes. It's possible that AppleScripts are always run through an interpreter that strips some credentials.

Does 'sudo /your/AppleScript' work correctly?
