Installer and Upgrade problems

  • Thread-topic: Installer and Upgrade problems

Hello All:

It's been a little while since I've done an installer package, and I'm
having a wee bit of trouble when doing an upgrade.

Using the command line (because we're doing automated builds), I'm modifying
the info.plists of various packages that are in a meta-package as follows -
the CFBundleIdentifier key to be defined as something like
com.vizible.xyz.$SHORT_STRING, where SHORT_STRING is defined as 0.2.8060 (or
whatever the svn number is).

I'm modifying CFBundleShortVersionString and CFBundleVersion to be
SHORT_STRING.

I'm also modifying IFMajorVersion, IFMinorVersion and IFPkgBuildVersion to
be the appropriate values.

The size of the one packages is changing so when I look at the receipt and
look at the installer, at least one of the packages I'm trying to install
has a bigger size.

I do a clean install and then rebuild everything with a new build number and
do an 'Upgrade', all the packages in the Customize dialog have a size of 0,
and if I 'Upgrade', all the packages are installed (none are skipped).

Can anyone provide a hint or two to what might be the problem with:

1 - the upgrade sizes are 0; and
2 - the upgrade is installing everything even though the size of the
packages are zero.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Best Regards


John Cebasek
