Title: Re: Testing for downgrade in Distribution Scripts
Can you show me an example of the _javascript_ you use for this? Also, How do you make sure they are only installing on the Startup Disk?
Thanks,
Sean

Here at Apple, in the iLife installer, I don't check receipt versions.
I check the version of /System/Library/Frameworks/QuickTime.framework
I make the assumption that the version of QuickTime is the version of that framework.

Ok. I have a Distribution Script that among other things will install
Quicktime 7.1.3 if the system is > 10.4 and passes the following test:
! my.target.receiptForIdentifier('com.apple.pkg.QuickTime713')
This works ok, but I'm assuming that it will cause problems once a machine
has been upgraded to Quicktime 7.1.4. How do I update this to also ensure
that it is an upgrade (or to disallow downgrades)?
I think it has something to do with choices.*.packageUpgradeAction, but I'm
not sure how to use it.
I apologize if this has been covered before, I have been unable to search
the archived reliably for 2 days now.
Thanks,
