That's fine, but it leaves your customers who get the package from
secondary sources in the lurch. Maybe you don't expect old versions
of your product to be hanging around the internet on download sites
and such, but for some developers, that can be very common.
Or maybe if the Installer/Packagemaker docs actually *mentioned*
when Installer closes the package, that would be helpful in making
this decision also. But that's too much to expect from a
'world-class' company such as Apple. The PackageMaker docs are
abysmal BTW. I would fire whomever wrote them.
I agree that Apple doesn't invest enough in our documentation. That's
been noticed and there should be some visible improvement in the next
12 months.
Maybe if Apple included a simple feature such as this in
PackageMaker, we wouldn't even be wasting our time on this discussion
Don't blame me - I have to work around your laziness.
What's the radar # for your enhancement request? The bug wasn't
obvious among the more than a thousand I'm tracking.

My guess is in Installer.app when "Restart" is clicked it just
quits Installer and everything goes away. It probably ignores any
errors if the bundle from a pkg can't be closed or it may in fact
have already closed the pkg when the Restart pane is displayed.
Don't guess. You've got two of Apple's installer engineers telling
you not to rely on that behavior. You won't get much sympathy if
you do it anyway and it breaks in the future.
