| Hello Cormac,
A couple of things to try ...
First, whether it's overkill or not, I always fully address the plist I want to write to: defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.domain.appname ....
Second, does the choice of quoting matter? (Probably not since you say this works when you run it manually) defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.domain.appname installertestkeyPOSTFLIGHT 'installerteststringPOSTFLIGHT' (no quotes for the property, single quotes for the value)
Finally, have you tried explicitly setting the value type? defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.domain.appname installertestkeyPOSTFLIGHT -string 'installerteststringPOSTFLIGHT' `man defaults` lists: -string, -data, -int, -float, -bool, -date, -array, and -dict
I don't know if any of those will help for certain, but they're avenues I'd explore if I were having this trouble.
Best wishes, Scott -- Scott Russell
